This mini vortex mixer shakes tubes and small containers on a 4.5mm circular oscillation, with models running at 2000rpm or up to 3000rpm and a maximum capacity of 50ml. It is small enough to hold in one hand, so it fits on a crowded bench or in a drawer between jobs.
Features and benefits:
- Three models to choose from: VM-200 (2000rpm, constant speed, 6W), VM-300 (3000rpm, constant speed, 12W) and VM-300S (knob speed control, 0 to 3000rpm, 12W)
- Brushless motor with overspeed protection - runs smoothly and is built for steady use
- 4.5mm circular oscillation on all models - a consistent mixing action for tubes and small vessels
- Silicone oscillator head and non-slip mats - the tube stays seated and the unit stays put while it runs
- Zinc alloy pedestal, described by the maker as three times the weight of aluminium alloy - a heavy base that keeps vibration down
- ABS plastic speed control knob on the VM-300S with stepless adjustment - dial in the speed to suit the liquid
- Works with various rotors, so test tubes, centrifuge tubes and Eppendorf tubes can all be held
Applications:
- Mixing liquids in test tubes, centrifuge tubes and Eppendorf tubes in the workshop or school lab
- Blending tattoo pigment and ink before use
- Mixing nail polish and eyelash recovery gel
- Quick sample mixing at the bench in teaching and training labs
In the box:
Power cord and manual, packed in a cardboard box.
Note: Shell protection class is IP42 and the allowable ambient range is 5 to 40°C at 80%RH, so keep it dry and away from splashes. Do not exceed the 50ml maximum capacity. Choose the UK plug option for a UK socket.

Q: What is a vortex mixer used for? A: A vortex mixer shakes a tube or small container in a circular motion so the liquid inside swirls and blends. This mini unit mixes test tubes, centrifuge tubes and Eppendorf tubes up to 50ml.. Q: What is the difference between the VM-200, VM-300 and VM-300S? A: The VM-200 runs at 2000rpm and 6W, the VM-300 at 3000rpm and 12W, both at constant speed. The VM-300S is also 12W but has a knob that sets any speed from 0 to 3000rpm.. Q: Can a vortex mixer be used for nail polish and tattoo ink? A: Yes, the maker lists tattoo paint, nail polish and eyelash recovery gel as uses. Keep each container within the 50ml maximum capacity.. Q: Is there a UK plug version of this mini vortex mixer? A: Yes, a UK plug option is available. The unit works across 100 to 240V.. Q: How big is the amplitude of the mixing motion? A: All three models have a 4.5mm amplitude with circular oscillation..
