VWR Vortex lab dancer shaker – Compact efficiency for your laboratory tubes
In a laboratory, every centimetre counts. With this in mind, the VWR Vortex lab dancer shaker was designed to offer maximum performance in a minimum of space. This compact gem is one of the favourite tools of laboratory technicians for fast and reliable mixing of their samples. Whether in a molecular biology routine, a cell culture station or a teaching laboratory, this miniature vortex is always ready to go.
The Lab Dancer has a quiet but powerful motor capable of reaching a fixed speed of 2,800 rpm. This rapid orbital motion effectively agitates solutions in tubes up to 30 mm in diameter. Its durable rubber head provides a perfect grip on the tubes, ensuring optimal transfer of vibrational energy. The vortex is activated by simply pressing vertically: just press the tube against the head and the agitation starts instantly, without any buttons or complex programming.
In terms of materials, the Lab Dancer combines lightness and robustness. Its zinc-cast base is coated to prevent slipping and enhance stability during use. The upper part is made of durable PP plastic, with an inert TPU tube holder surface, ideal for preventing any unwanted chemical interaction. This dual-material design ensures mechanical protection, increased durability and complete safety during use.
Another strong point of the VWR lab dancer is its portability. Weighing only 0.55 kg and with a diameter of 10 cm, it fits easily on any bench or under a fume hood. Its low-voltage power supply via a 12V adapter also makes it very safe, even in sensitive environments. Despite its size, its performance is equivalent to that of larger devices, making it a first-class choice for demanding users.
The Vortex Lab Dancer stirrer is a perfectly balanced solution combining simplicity, efficiency and durability. It is designed for anyone looking for a fast, reliable and immediately operational stirring tool with no unnecessary features. It is the ideal ally for routine mixing, cell suspensions or any preparatory step requiring a homogeneous solution. A basic piece of equipment, but an essential one.
