Ohaus Mini vortex mixer for Application-Based Model Selection
These products are made for routine testing, inspection, and quality-control workflows, where the right choice often depends on differences in configuration, range, portability, and application fit.
The pulsing model features a unique pulse action that reduces heat generation while providing more effective mixing and cell disruption. The fixed speed model offers one-touch, high-speed mixing.
Applications
Re-Suspending Liquids, Mixing Reagents, Buffers, and Emulsions, ELISA Assay, Drug Extractions, Mixing Samples
Display
Independent LED displays for speed/time allow the operator to view both settings simultaneously (digital models) and adjustment knob with dial markings for variable speed control (analog models)
Operation
Detachable 3-wire cord and plug (included)
Construction
Cup head and 3-inch accessory platform for beakers, flasks, test tubes etc. (included with all models), stainless steel microtube holder for 12 tubes (pulsing models)
Design Features
Microprocessor-control to maintain set speed for consistent mixing action (digital models), 230V models have a maximum speed of 2500 rpm
Related Products
For complementary mixing and laboratory solutions, consider the Mini Centrifuge for small-volume separations, the Magnetic Stirrer with Hotplate for controlled heating and stirring, or the Benchtop Orbital Shaker for versatile sample agitation in flasks and tubes.
Product Q&A
What types of Mini Vortex Mixers are available?
There are four main types: Analog (variable speed), Digital (speed/time input), Pulsing (unique pulse action for reduced heat), and Fixed Speed (one-touch high-speed mixing).
How does the pulsing model reduce heat generation?
The pulsing model alternates short bursts of rotation with rest periods, allowing the sample to mix effectively without excessive heat build-up that could damage sensitive samples.
What is the maximum speed of the digital and analog models?
230V models have a maximum speed of 2500 rpm. The analog model allows variable speed adjustment, and the digital model can be set to precise speed and time for reproducibility.
What sample types can be used with the Mini Vortex Mixer?
It can mix liquids in beakers, flasks, test tubes, and microtubes. Pulsing models include a stainless steel 12-tube holder for microtube samples.
Are there safety features to prevent overheating?
Yes, a built-in temperature sensor automatically shuts down the motor if the unit overheats. Allow it to cool before resuming operation. Reducing the duration of use between rest periods helps prevent overheating.
How is the Mini Vortex Mixer powered?
All models come with a detachable 3-wire cord and plug for safe operation.
QUICK TIP:
These units are not intended for continuous use over extended periods of time. A built-in temperature sensor will prevent the unit from overheating by shutting the motor down. If this occurs, allow the motor to cool down and the unit will be able to resume normal operation. Decrease the duration of the time unit is used between rest periods.

Analog and digital models offer speed control from low RPM start up for gentle shaking - to high-speed mixing for vigorous vortexing of samples (analog - 300 to 3200 rpm & digital - 500 to 3000 rpm). |
| Fixed speed vortex mixers start mixing when the cup head is depressed. Ideal for mixing samples when a variable speed is not needed. Speed is a full 3200 rpm to provide vigorous mixing of samples. |
