Vortex Mixer Cekegon Lab Shaker 4in Pad Dual Speed 1300/2800rpm

Description

Product Overview

The Cekegon Vortex Mixer is engineered for demanding laboratory environments where precision and durability are essential. Its 4‑inch diameter platform pad is constructed from high‑grade stainless steel, providing a stable surface that can hold multiple containers, test tubes, or small plates at once. The mixer offers two fixed speed settings—1300 rpm for gentle, thorough blending and 2800 rpm for rapid, high‑energy agitation—allowing users to tailor the mixing intensity to the specific viscosity and sensitivity of their samples.

Built around a solid aluminum casting, the unit weighs over 8 pounds, which minimizes vibration and ensures a quiet operation even at the highest speed. Four suction feet on the base create a firm grip on laboratory benches, preventing movement during continuous cycles. The motor is a brushless DC design that delivers consistent torque while extending the service life of the equipment.

Dimensions of the mixer are compact enough for most bench spaces: 16.22 × 12.28 × 7.17 inches, with a total weight of 8.88 lb. The control panel features a simple rotary knob and clear LED indicators for speed selection, making it intuitive for both seasoned researchers and newcomers. The device complies with standard safety certifications and is backed by a manufacturer warranty from Cekegon.

Beyond its core functionality, the Vortex Mixer includes optional accessories such as a 96‑well plate jig (sold separately) that enables precise mixing of sub‑milliliter volumes. This flexibility makes the mixer suitable for a wide range of applications, from routine chemical preparation to delicate biological assays.

Overall, the Vortex Mixer combines robust construction, user‑friendly controls, and versatile performance in a single, space‑efficient package, positioning it as a reliable workhorse for any modern laboratory.

Usage

In chemical laboratories, the mixer excels at homogenizing paint pigments, nail polish formulations, and solvent blends. The 4‑inch platform accommodates standard bottles and jars, allowing simultaneous processing of multiple samples, which speeds up workflow and reduces cross‑contamination risk.

Biology and biochemistry labs benefit from the gentle 1300 rpm setting when mixing cell cultures, enzyme solutions, or delicate reagents that could be damaged by excessive shear forces. The low‑vibration design ensures that sensitive assays remain undisturbed, preserving the integrity of experimental results.

For high‑throughput screening, the optional 96‑well plate jig transforms the mixer into a rapid micro‑volume processor, ideal for drug discovery or genomics workflows where precise, repeatable mixing of tiny volumes is critical.

Because the unit operates continuously without overheating, it is well suited for long‑duration protocols such as kinetic studies, polymerization reactions, or extended incubation steps that require consistent agitation over several hours.

FAQ

What types of containers can I place on the 4‑inch platform?

The platform is designed to hold standard laboratory bottles, small jars, and test tubes up to 4 inches in diameter. It can also support custom adapters, such as the optional 96‑well plate jig, for micro‑volume applications.

Can the mixer run continuously for several hours?

Yes, the brushless DC motor is engineered for continuous operation without overheating. Users can run the mixer for extended periods, making it suitable for long‑duration reactions or kinetic assays.

Is the device compatible with a magnetic stir bar?

The Vortex Mixer is a mechanical shaker and does not use magnetic fields. For magnetic stirring, a separate magnetic stir plate should be used alongside the mixer if needed.

How do I maintain the mixer to ensure long‑term performance?

Regularly clean the platform surface with a mild solvent to remove residue, check the suction feet for debris, and inspect the motor vent for dust buildup. Follow the maintenance schedule outlined in the user manual.

What warranty coverage does Cekegon provide?

The mixer comes with a two‑year limited warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship. Technical support is available throughout the warranty period to assist with any issues.
