Vortex mixer remains a critical piece of laboratory equipment utilized for rapid mixing of samples. Some of the key attributes, such as small footprint and exceptional rpm make vortex mixer indispensable across multiple lab benches.
Vortex mixer is being actively embraced across multiple application verticals, including microbiology, biochemical, bioscience, and analytical laboratories, in order to obtain a viable mixture of small vials of liquids in a fast oscillating circular motion.
Sensing the varying end-user requirements, manufacturers of vortex mixer are offering products at varying speeds and operational specifications. Moreover, manufacturers of vortex mixer also offer products with options of on-demand function and continuous function, which broadens the functionality of vortex mixer in line with varying end-use applications.
Manufacturers are also offering exclusive varieties of vortex mixers of varying configurations, ranging from pipette to multi-tube in combination with a variety of mixing options to cater to diverse requirements across labs. The demand for ergonomic designs are on a considerable rise and manufacturers of vortex mixer, in response to the aforementioned, are incorporating ergonomic designs with low profile for enhanced ROI benefits.
The variable speed of the vortex mixer available in the customer marketplace ranges between 200 to 2500 rpm, which fits in the bill of multifarious requirements of various end-use applications.
Vortex mixer is used by many companies and laboratories in industries such as healthcare and biotechnology for mixing liquids, among other purposes as they save time and effort. A vortex mixer consists of a drive shaft and an electric motor, which are placed vertically and attached to a cup-type rubber piece, which is mounted slightly off-center.
Since the past few decades, the tool configurations of rigid vortex mixer is been modified to enhance the safety and reliability of a mixed liquid. Vortex mixer is being developed with low attenuation to mix liquids and solutions. A container is pressed into the rubber cup and the motion is transmitted to the liquid inside, which creates a vortex. These vortex mixer is preferred by manufacturers, owing to their low attenuation and ease of handling for mixing different solutions. Vortex mixer is especially used by chemical manufacturing companies.
Vortex mixer is manufactured in the 2-plate format and 4-plate format with variable speed options ranging from 100 to 3,200 rpm. They can run continuously or can be designed to run when downward pressure is applied to the rubber piece. This technology is adopted by many chemical manufacturing companies and laboratories around the globe for efficient handling of chemicals during manufacturing.
Drivers
Vortex mixer is small in size and primarily used by hospitals, chemical factories and laboratories to mix different liquids and solutions. They are also adopted in industrial as well as fertilizer applications. The easy handling and operation of vortex mixer further drives their adoption. Moreover, they are capable of handling large volumes of liquids with minimum losses and reasonable costs and thus, find preference among manufacturers in the chemical industry.
Challenges
Range limitation, requirement of turbulent flow and calibration check are some of the key drawbacks associated with vortex mixers and thus, may impact their adoption to an extent. On the other hand, the price of daily use equipment has been rising, due to manufacturing costs, which is directly affecting the vortex mixer market.
