Benchmark Scientific BV101-P VORNADO MINI VORTEX MIXER, Purple Cup

The Benchmark BV101-P is ideal for quick, efficient sample mixing in research, educational, pharmaceutical, clinical, and quality control laboratories. It is commonly used for reagent preparation, pellet resuspension, sample homogenization, PCR preparation, buffer mixing, dissolving powders, and fast vortexing of test tubes during routine laboratory workflows. The compact design makes it especially useful for workstations where rapid mixing is needed without occupying much bench space.

The BV101-P is designed to accommodate a broad range of sample containers, from small microcentrifuge tubes to nearly full 50 mL tubes. Its 4 mm orbital motion and fixed high-speed operation create strong vortex action that helps efficiently mix both low-volume and larger liquid samples during everyday lab use.

No. The BV101-P features Insta-Touch™ pressure activation, meaning the motor automatically starts when light pressure is applied to the cup head and stops immediately when the tube is removed. This touch-activated design helps simplify repetitive sample preparation and allows quick, one-handed vortexing without programming or control adjustments.

Yes. The BV101-P has an ultra-compact footprint of less than 4 × 4 inches, allowing it to fit comfortably in crowded laboratory environments, biosafety cabinets, classrooms, or mobile workstations. Despite its compact size, it delivers a fixed mixing speed of 2800 rpm for rapid and efficient sample vortexing.

Yes. The BV101-P is designed for dependable day-to-day operation and includes a sealed cup head system that helps prevent liquid spills from entering the housing and damaging internal components. Its smooth, quiet operation and durable construction help support long-term reliability in busy laboratory environments handling repetitive sample mixing.
