The Labshark vortex mixer (also referred to as a vortex shaker, vortexer, or lab vortex mixer) is a versatile and high-performance laboratory instrument designed for rapid and efficient sample mixing, oscillation, and dispersion. Whether you need a vortex machine for single-tube processing, a digital vortex mixer for precise speed control, or a multi-tube vortexer for high-throughput workflows, Labshark delivers exceptional performance.
Available in two models—VM-300 (touch-activated) and VM-500 (multi-function continuous)—this laboratory vortex shaker features a brushless DC motor for low-noise operation and extended lifespan. With stepless speed control (up to 3300 rpm) and compatibility with a wide range of tubes and microplates, it is the ultimate vortex mixer for lab applications.

The laboratory vortex mixer is equipped with a high-performance brushless DC motor, offering high efficiency, minimal speed deviation, and extended service life. Unlike traditional brushed motors, this vortex lab equipment operates with significantly lower noise, ensuring a quiet working environment for your lab vortex experiments.
The vortex mixer shaker features a stepless speed control knob combined with PWM electronic regulation, allowing you to easily adjust the speed from 0 to 3300 rpm (VM-300) or 0-3000 rpm (VM-500). This vortexing machine gives you precise control over mixing intensity, making it suitable for both gentle agitation and vigorous vortex mixing.
The VM-300 supports point-activated operation (press to start, release to stop), ideal for quick, intermittent mixing. The VM-500 supports both continuous operation and touch-activated modes, offering greater flexibility for different experimental requirements. This makes it a versatile multi vortex mixer for diverse lab applications.
This vortex mixer is compatible with a wide range of containers, including:
0.2 mL, 0.5 mL, 1.5 mL, 2 mL, 5 mL, 50 mL centrifuge tubes
Microplates (96-well and 384-well)
Multi-tube vortexer adapters for high-throughput sample processing
Whether you are working with single tubes or multiple samples, this vortex instrument adapts to your workflow.
The vortexer lab device features a weighted base and a non-slip silicone pad, ensuring stable operation even at high speeds. The vortexer mixer stays firmly in place during use, preventing accidental spills and protecting your samples.
Both models are equipped with an automatic fault detection system. In the event of abnormal operation, the vortex mixers will automatically shut down to prevent damage to the motor and ensure user safety. The LED display provides clear feedback on speed and operating status.
Your Need | Recommended Model |
|---|---|
Quick, intermittent mixing of single tubes | VM-300 – Touch-activated, 0-3300 rpm, point-activated mode, ideal for vortexing in lab routines. |
Continuous mixing of multiple samples, versatile applications | VM-500 – Continuous + touch modes, compatible with multi-tube vortex mixer adapters, microplates, and 0.2-50 mL tubes. |
Both models feature the same brushless DC motor, LED display, and stable weighted base.
Place the vortex mixer on a stable, flat surface. Ensure the non-slip silicone pad is clean and free of debris to maintain stability during operation.
Choose the correct tray or module based on your sample type:
Single tube: Use the standard cup head.
Multiple tubes: Attach the multi-tube vortexer adapter.
Microplates: Use the dedicated microplate attachment.
For VM-300: Press and hold the tube against the cup head to activate. Release to stop.
For VM-500: Use the speed knob to select the desired speed. Choose between continuous or touch-activated mode using the control button.
After use, clean the cup head and adapters with a mild detergent and water. Do not immerse the main unit in liquid.
Precautions:
Do not operate the vortex equipment with wet hands.
Avoid overloading the unit with heavy samples beyond its capacity.
If the automatic fault detection activates, turn off the device and allow it to cool before resuming.
Always use the device on a flat, stable surface to prevent tipping.
Our laboratory vortex shaker is widely used across multiple industries:
Life Sciences: Cell culture, bacterial solution processing, and sample mixing.
Clinical Diagnostics: Blood anticoagulation, serum separation, and blood sample handling.
Chemical & Pharmaceutical: Reagent mixing, dissolution testing, and formulation.
Environmental Testing: Water analysis, soil extraction, and sample preparation.
Research Institutions: Molecular biology experiments and vortexing of PCR samples.
From mini vortex mixer tasks to high-throughput multi-tube vortex mixer workflows, Labshark provides the tools you need for efficient sample mixing.
A: VM-300 is a touch-activated model, perfect for quick, point-activated mixing. VM-500 supports both continuous and touch-activated modes and is compatible with a wider range of adapters, including multi-tube vortex mixer attachments and microplates.
A: Yes. The VM-500 model is compatible with microplates, including 96-well and 384-well formats.
A: Start at a low speed and gradually increase until the desired mixing is achieved. The stepless speed control allows for precise adjustment to suit your sample's viscosity and volume.
A: The vortex instrument has an automatic fault detection system. Turn off the power, allow the motor to cool, and check for any obstructions or abnormal loads before restarting.
Whether you are a biologist, clinical technician, or chemist, Labshark vortex mixers offer the perfect combination of speed, versatility, and durability. Choose between the VM-300 and VM-500 models to match your specific mixing needs.
