Vortex Test Tube
Vortex Test Tube (Product Code: SLE/CL/66) is a compact vortex mixer for one test tube at a time: pressing a tube into its rubber top sets the head moving in a small circular horizontal orbit that swirls samples and reagents into a vortex. Clinical, microbiology and molecular biology labs rely on this kind of vortex mixer in India for resuspending cells, mixing serum with reagents and preparing dilutions. This mixer is a product of Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, Haryana.
Specifications
| Parameter | Detail |
|---|---|
| Type | Compact shaker/vibrator for a single test tube |
| Tube size | Rubber top cavity takes tubes up to 30 mm diameter |
| Operating modes | Touch mode (starts mixing when the rubber top is pressed down with a tube) and switch mode for continuous operation |
| Speed | Continuously adjustable, up to 3200 rpm |
| Orbit | Circular horizontal orbit of 5.6 mm |
| Stability | Non-skid feet prevent the shaker from sliding |
| Power requirements | 100 V to 240 V, 50/60 Hz, with voltage surge protection |
| Intended use | Mixing samples and reagents |
Typical Use
In touch mode the mixer waits until a tube is pressed onto the rubber cup, so a technician can work through a rack quickly: pick up a tube, hold it near the top, press for a few seconds, and return it. Switch mode keeps the head running continuously, which is handy for longer mixing such as dissolving a pellet or suspending beads while both hands prepare the next step.
Start at a lower speed and increase it until the liquid forms a vortex without climbing to the cap, and always close or cover tubes that contain infectious material. For whole blood, gentle inversion or a rotator is preferred over vigorous vortexing. It is a small but frequently used piece of lab equipment for research in India, from student DNA extraction practicals to routine serology.

Frequently Asked Questions
What tube sizes can it mix?
The rubber top cavity takes tubes up to 30 mm in diameter, one tube at a time.
What is the difference between touch and switch mode?
In touch mode it starts only when a tube is pressed onto the rubber top; in switch mode it runs continuously until switched off.
How fast does it run?
Speed is continuously adjustable up to 3200 rpm, with a circular horizontal orbit of 5.6 mm.
Will it work on my mains supply?
It accepts 100 V to 240 V at 50/60 Hz and includes voltage surge protection, so it suits most supplies in India and international markets.
Can it mix several tubes or microplates?
It is designed as a single-tube mixer. Ask us via the contact page if you need a multi-tube or plate shaker.
How do I clean it?
Unplug the unit, then wipe the rubber top and housing with a mild disinfectant; do not let liquid run into the base.
