The Digital Vortex Mixer (MX-S+) is a precision benchtop vortex mixer featuring an LCD display, variable speed control (100-3000 rpm), programmable timer (1 second to 99 minutes 59 seconds), and a maintenance-free DC brushless motor. This digital mixer provides optimal, reproducible mixing for blood collection tubes, reagents, and biological samples in clinical diagnostic and research laboratories.
Key features include a large LCD digital display for real-time monitoring of speed and time, dual operating modes (touch activation for quick mixing of individual tubes, continuous mode for extended operation), variable speed control for precise adjustment of mixing intensity from gentle to vigorous, and a programmable timer for automated, reproducible mixing protocols. The DC brushless motor provides high stability, smooth operation, low noise, and maintenance-free performance.
The pressure-mounted accessory system accommodates a wide range of sample containers—including 0.2 mL PCR tubes, 1.5-2.0 mL microcentrifuge tubes, 5-50 mL conical tubes, blood collection tubes (various sizes), PCR strip tubes, and (using optional adapters) 96-well microplates. The low-profile rubber suction feet ensure stable benchtop placement, preventing "walking" during high-speed operation.
For the clinical laboratory scientist and phlebotomist, the Digital Vortex Mixer (MX-S+) ensures optimal mixing of blood collection tubes after venipuncture with digital precision—gentle speeds for light blue top coagulation tubes (PT/PTT) to prevent platelet activation, and higher speeds for lavender top EDTA tubes (CBC) and serum separator tubes to ensure thorough mixing of anticoagulants and clot activators. For the molecular biologist, it facilitates resuspension of nucleic acid pellets, mixing of PCR reaction components, and homogenization of buffers for diagnostic assays.
Universal voltage (100-240V, 50/60Hz) enables use in laboratories worldwide without voltage conversion, while the compact footprint (160 × 146 × 115 mm) and moderate weight (3.4 kg) allow easy benchtop placement. The IP21 protection class provides durability against dust and moisture in typical laboratory environments.
For the patient undergoing coagulation monitoring (warfarin, heparin), complete blood count (CBC), molecular diagnostic testing (COVID-19, influenza, hepatitis), or routine chemistry panels, the MX-S+'s digital precision, programmable timer, and versatile sample format compatibility ensure accurate test results that guide appropriate treatment decisions—preventing false-negative or false-positive results due to improper sample mixing.
