Direct Replacement for Thermo Fisher & Benchmark Multi-Tube Vortex Mixers
Hawach multi-tube vortex mixers are protocol-compatible with leading brands – use the same racks, same speed range, same workflows. No method revalidation required.
| Competitor Model | Hawach Equivalent | Key Specifications | Cost Advantage |
| Thermo Scientific Multi-Tube Vortex Mixer (digital) | 18102004 | 500-2500 rpm, timer up to 9999 min, foam racks included | 40-50% lower |
| Benchmark Scientific BenchMixer™ XL (BV1010) | 18102004 | Up to 2500 rpm, interchangeable racks, continuous/touch mode | 40-50% lower |
What Is a Multi-Tube Vortex Mixer?
An multi-tube vortex mixer simultaneously mixes up to 50 tubes using orbital vortex motion (4 mm orbit). Interchangeable foam racks hold tubes of different diameters (10 mm, 12 mm, 15 mm) – covering 1.5 mL microtubes to 50 mL centrifuge tubes. Compared with single-tube vortex mixers, it saves hands-on time, ensures consistent mixing intensity, and reduces repetitive strain.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can Hawach multi-tube vortex mixers replace Thermo Fisher or Benchmark models?
Yes. They are protocol-compatible – use the same speed range, same tube racks, same workflows. No method revalidation required.
Q: What speed should I use for QuEChERS extraction?
1500-2000 rpm for 1-2 minutes. The 500-2500 rpm range accommodates both gentle mixing and vigorous vortexing.
Q: What tube sizes can this mixer handle?
φ10 mm (1.5/2 mL microtubes), φ12 mm (15 mL tubes), φ15 mm (50 mL tubes). Custom racks available.
Q: What is the difference between touch mode and continuous mode?
Touch mode runs while pressing the tube/rack. Continuous mode runs unattended with timer control – recommended for high-throughput batch processing.
