Benchmark BV1005 Mortexer Vortex Mixer

The Benchmark BV1005 Mortexer stands out because of its Multi-Head™ design, which combines a traditional vortex cup for single-tube mixing with the ability to hold and mix up to eight microcentrifuge tubes simultaneously. This dual-purpose functionality helps laboratories save time by handling individual samples or small batches without switching equipment.

The BV1005 Mortexer is ideal for sample preparation, reagent mixing, pellet resuspension, PCR preparation, cell suspension mixing, chemical blending, and biological sample processing. Its ability to mix both individual tubes and multiple microtubes makes it useful in molecular biology, clinical, pharmaceutical, research, and quality control laboratories.

Yes. The BV1005 includes variable speed control from approximately 200 to 3200 rpm, allowing users to adjust mixing intensity depending on the sample type. Lower speeds are useful for gentle agitation, while higher speeds create fast, powerful vortexing for difficult-to-mix samples and larger tubes, including up to 50 mL tubes.

Yes. The BV1005 supports both Touch mode and Continuous mode. Touch mode activates mixing only when pressure is applied to the mixer head for quick vortexing, while Continuous mode enables unattended, hands-free operation for repetitive workflows or extended mixing sessions.

Yes. The BV1005 features Q-Drive™ dynamic balancing technology, spill-resistant electronic controls, and “no-walk” suction feet to improve stability during operation. Its heavy-duty design helps reduce noise and excessive vibration while supporting reliable long-term performance in busy laboratory environments.
