- Definition a simple device commonly used in laboratories to mix small vials of liquid that consists of an electric motor with the drive shaft oriented vertically and attached to a cupped rubber piece mounted slightly off-center Reference "COM-EN, based on:Wikipedia > Vortex mixer. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vortex_mixer [16.9.2010]"
- Comment "As the motor runs the rubber piece oscillates rapidly in a circular motion. When a test tube or other appropriate container is pressed into the rubber cup (or touched to its edge) the motion is transmitted to the liquid inside and a vortex is created.Note ref.: Wikipedia > Vortex mixer. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vortex_mixer [16.9.2010]"
