Experience powerful agitation with just the press of a finger. The Heathrow Scientific Mini Vortex Mixer provides exceptional vortexing action in a highly compact, benchtop-friendly footprint. Engineered for simplicity and ergonomic comfort, this unit features a low-activation-force touch start that initiates a rapid 4,500 rpm spin the moment you press a tube to the silicone cap. The heavy ABS base and stable elastomer feet ensure the unit remains completely anchored during operation, delivering quiet, low-vibration mixing for tubes up to 50 mL.
