Gilson Vortex Mixer

The Gilson Vortex Mixer is a robust, high-performance laboratory mixer designed to deliver rapid and effective vortexing across a wide range of tube sizes, from 0.4 mL up to 50 mL and larger. A unique counter-balance system combined with dynamic balance technology ensures powerful mixing while significantly reducing noise and excess vibration, even at higher speeds. The mixer supports both touch-activated and continuous operation, with variable speed control from 200 to 3,200 rpm for precise adjustment to different applications. Designed for stability and reliability, it features suction feet to maintain a secure bench position, spill-proof electronic controls, and reliable operation across a broad temperature range from +4°C to +65°C. Optional flat and multi-tube heads further extend the versatility of the instrument for different laboratory workflows.
