Eppendorf MixMate 5353 Benchtop Microplate and Tube Mixer with Touch Vortexing

The Eppendorf MixMate 5353 is a precision benchtop microplate mixer engineered for consistent, efficient mixing of small volumes in tubes and microplates, essential for molecular biology and biotechnological workflows. It supports various vessel formats, including 96- and 384-well plates, deep-well plates, and tubes ranging from 0.2 mL PCR tubes up to 2.0 mL microcentrifuge tubes—making it suitable for gene editing, molecular cloning, and assay preparation.

Key technical features include:

• Two-dimensional mixing motion combined with integrated touch vortexing at 3,500 RPM for uniform, reproducible mixing across all wells or tubes.
• Adjustable mixing speeds from 300 to 3,000 RPM in precise 50 RPM increments, with user-selectable run times from 15 seconds to 99.5 hours or continuous operation.
• Digital control panel enabling storage of up to five predefined programs for standardized protocols in synthetic biology and molecular diagnostics.
• Compact footprint (9 x 7 x 7 inches) and lightweight design (10 lbs) suitable for benchtop use in clinical diagnostics, biotechnology labs, and biomedical engineering environments.
• Electrical compatibility with 115–230V, 50–60 Hz power supplies ensuring broad laboratory integration.

The MixMate’s versatility makes it critical in bioprocessing and biomanufacturing pipelines requiring precise, repeatable sample mixing for immunoassays, cell culture sample prep, and solubility testing. Its reliable performance supports demanding workflows in biotechnology research and pharmaceutical development.

This equipment is widely adopted for live-cell imaging preparations, fluorescence analysis, and other applications where gentle but thorough mixing of small-volume biological samples is crucial. The MixMate 5353 enhances laboratory efficiency by providing consistent homogenization essential for high-quality assay results and experimental reproducibility.
