Benchmark Scientific BV101-R VORNADO MINI VORTEX MIXER, Red Cup

The Benchmark BV101-R is ideal for rapid mixing of laboratory samples in research, clinical, pharmaceutical, educational, and quality control environments. It is commonly used for reagent preparation, resuspending pellets, mixing biological samples, dissolving powders, PCR preparation, and quick vortexing of tubes during routine sample preparation workflows.

The BV101-R is designed to mix a wide variety of sample containers, including microcentrifuge tubes and larger laboratory tubes up to nearly 50 mL capacity. Its 4 mm orbit and fixed high-speed mixing action help produce efficient vortexing for both small and larger sample volumes during daily lab work.

No. The BV101-R features Insta-Touch™ pressure-activated operation, meaning vortexing starts automatically when light pressure is applied to the cup head and stops immediately when the tube is removed. This simple operation makes repetitive sample mixing faster and more convenient without complicated settings or controls.

Yes. The BV101-R is built with an ultra-compact footprint of less than 4 × 4 inches, allowing it to fit easily on crowded laboratory benches, biosafety cabinets, mobile workstations, and small research areas where bench space is limited. Despite its small size, it delivers powerful vortexing performance at a fixed 2800 rpm.

Yes. The BV101-R is engineered for routine daily use and includes a sealed cup head design that helps prevent spilled liquids from entering the housing and damaging the motor. Its stable operation, compact construction, and durable design help support dependable long-term performance in busy laboratory environments.
