Mini Vortex Mixer XW-18D Variable Speed Lab Oscillator

Mini Vortex Mixer XW-18D — Precision Mixing for Every Lab

The Mini Vortex Mixer XW-18D is a compact, variable-speed vortex oscillator engineered for professional laboratory environments. Whether you're blending powders, homogenizing samples in test tubes, or mixing liquid reagents, this reliable benchtop mixer delivers consistent, reproducible results every time. Its small footprint makes it ideal for busy labs where bench space is at a premium.

Key Features

• Variable Speed Control (0–2,800 RPM): Dial in the exact mixing intensity you need — from gentle agitation to vigorous vortexing — for optimal sample preparation across a wide range of applications.
• Dual Operation Modes: Switch between Touch Mode (runs only while pressure is applied) and Continuous Mode (hands-free sustained operation) with a simple toggle.
• Compact & Space-Saving Design: The slim, lightweight form factor fits neatly on any lab bench, fume hood, or prep station without taking up valuable workspace.
• Versatile Tube Compatibility: The standard mixing head accommodates tubes up to 30 mm in diameter; the optional flat-mat tray expands capacity to containers up to 108 mm in diameter — covering microtubes, centrifuge tubes, vials, and small flasks.
• Durable Construction: Built with robust, laboratory-grade materials that withstand repeated daily use in demanding environments (operating temperature range: 5–40°C; relative humidity ≤85%).
• Chemical-Free Operation: Contains no high-concern chemicals, ensuring a safe, compliant working environment.
• 58W Motor Power: Delivers consistent orbital motion with minimal vibration transfer to the bench surface.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is the vortex speed adjustable on the XW-18D vortex mixer?

A: Yes. The XW-18DL and XW-18DL+ models feature fully variable speed adjustment from 0 to 2,800 RPM, allowing you to fine-tune mixing intensity for different sample types and container sizes.

Q: What tube and container sizes does the Mini Vortex Mixer XW-18D support?

A: The standard mixing head accommodates tubes and vials up to 30 mm in diameter. When used with the optional flat-mat tray accessory, the mixer can handle containers up to 108 mm in diameter, making it suitable for microtubes, centrifuge tubes, and small flasks.

Q: How do Touch Mode and Continuous Mode differ on the XW-18D lab mixer?

A: In Touch Mode, the mixer runs only while downward pressure is applied to the mixing head — ideal for quick spot-mixing. In Continuous Mode, the mixer operates hands-free at a set speed until manually switched off, perfect for extended mixing tasks that require unattended operation.

Q: Is the Mini Vortex Mixer XW-18D suitable for home or educational lab use?

A: Absolutely. Its compact size, straightforward controls, and robust build make it well-suited for university labs, research facilities, educational institutions, and any professional setting requiring reliable sample preparation.

Q: What power supply does the XW-18D vortex oscillator require?

A: The XW-18D operates on AC 220V. Please ensure your facility's power supply matches this specification before use, or use an appropriate voltage converter if needed.
