The BV1007 is the BenchMixer MP — a multi-format vortex mixer designed for simultaneous tube and microplate vortexing at $577 (most-expensive standard vortex in the BV family). Distinct from single-format BV chasses (BV1000 BenchMixer, BV1003 V2, BV1005 Mortexer) — the MP chassis is specifically designed for combined tube + plate workflows.

Why the BenchMixer MP — Multi-Format Vortex
Standard BV chasses focus on single-format vortex workflows (cup-head touch-mode for single tubes, horizontal heads for multi-tube hands-free). The MP chassis is specifically designed for tube AND plate workflows — supports microplate vortexing + multi-tube workflows on a single chassis without head-swap operations.
Pick the BenchMixer MP (BV1007) when:
- Workflow combines microplate vortex + tube vortex in routine use
- High-throughput multi-format facility procurement
- Multi-investigator shared chassis with diverse vortex format requirements
- Cost-justified premium — $577 vs assembling separate chasses for plate + tube workflows
Stay with BV1000 BenchMixer ($303) when single-format tube workflows are routine — pair with optional heads for multi-format flexibility.
Frequently Asked Questions
What makes the BenchMixer MP different from other BV vortex mixers? It is a multi-format chassis designed for simultaneous tube and microplate vortexing on one unit, without head-swap operations. Single-format BV chasses (BV1000 BenchMixer, BV1003 V2, BV1005 Mortexer) handle one format at a time.
What attachments are available for the BV1007? The BV1007-T05 (70 × 0.5 mL tubes, $82) and the BV1007-T57 (16 × 5–7 mL tubes, 12–13 mm, $82).
When should I choose the BV1000 BenchMixer instead? When single-format tube workflows are routine — the BV1000 lists at $303 and can be paired with optional heads for multi-format flexibility.
What voltage does the BV1007 use? The universe electrical field is empty; confirm voltage and plug type with Benchmark Scientific technical support at order. A 230 V variant is available by special order.
