Horizontal Head for 12 × 1.5/2.0 mL Tubes

The BV1000-H15 is the horizontal multi-tube head for the BenchMixer BV1000 (holds 12 × 1.5/2.0 mL Eppendorf tubes for HANDS-FREE multi-tube simultaneous vortexing) at $119. Distinct from the standard cup head (single-tube touch-mode); the horizontal head replaces the touch-mode workflow with continuous batch vortexing of multiple tubes simultaneously.

For full chemistry rationale, see the BV1000 (BenchMixer anchor) page.

Key Specifications

Why a Horizontal Head: Hands-Free Multi-Tube Vortex

Standard vortex workflow is touch-and-go single-tube, operator presses each tube against the head briefly. For multi-tube batch workflows, this is operationally slow and fatigue-prone. The horizontal head holds multiple tubes simultaneously, enabling:

• Hands-free batch vortexing. Multi-tube cycles without operator handling each tube
• Uniform multi-tube exposure. All tubes vortex for the same duration
• Faster batch sample-prep. 12 tubes per cycle vs single-tube sequential
• Multi-investigator shared workflow consistency. Eliminates operator-to-operator timing variation

Pick the BV1000-H15 when:

• Workflow involves multi-tube batch vortexing at the 1.5/2.0 mL Eppendorf scale
• High-throughput sample-prep with vortex-mix steps
• Multi-investigator shared chassis standardizing on hands-free vortex
