MX-E Economic Vortex Mixer
The MX-E is a compact, economical vortex mixer designed for rapid, touch-activated mixing of small liquid samples. Powered by a brushless DC motor, it provides stable, wobble-free operation for laboratory and diagnostic workflows.
Touch Operation | Fixed 3000 rpm Speed | Brushless DC Motor | Compact & Portable
Key Features
- Touch-Activated Mixing: Inching touch operation allows instantaneous vortexing upon pressing the cup head with a test tube.
- Powerful Fixed Speed: Operates at a constant 3000 rpm for rapid, complete sample homogenization.
- Brushless DC Motor: Efficient 12V DC brushless motor delivers smooth running, low heat generation, and long service life.
- Stable Anti-Wobble Base: Specially engineered foot pad design firmly secures the mixer in place on the benchtop during operation.
- Compact & Lightweight: Small footprint fits easily into crowded lab spaces, biosafety cabinets, and mobile testing setups.
Applications
Ideal for rapidly mixing small sample volumes in biological, biochemical, and clinical testing. Also widely used for resuspending bacterial pellets, vortexing reagents, mixing eyelash adhesives, nail polish, paints, and tattoo pigments.
