Ohaus Vortex-Genie 2 Digital Vortex Mixer, Model SI-A236, 120V 60Hz

The Ohaus Vortex-Genie 2 Digital Vortex Mixer (Model SI-A236) is a precision benchtop vortexer optimized for molecular biology, biotechnology, and clinical diagnostics applications, particularly critical in sample homogenization, DNA/RNA mixing, and PCR setup workflows. Featuring a 3.5 mm orbit and a versatile speed range of 500 to 3,000 rpm, it enables efficient mixing and agitation of reagents, buffers, and biological samples.

Key technical specifications include:

• Digital Control with Red LED Display: Facilitates precise speed adjustment and an integrated countdown timer ranging from 1 second to 99 minutes, allowing hands-free or touch-activated operation.
• Robust Zinc-Casted Housing with Non-Slip Feet: Ensures stability during vigorous mixing; the 3-inch rubber-covered platform accommodates standard tubes and includes pop-off cup accessory.
• Power and Compatibility: Supports 120V, 0.65A, 60Hz operation with included power cord; cold room and incubator compatible, ideal for sensitive bioprocessing environments.
• Special PCR Plate Attachment: Designed attachment for half-skirted and unskirted PCR plates supports nucleic acid workflows common in gene editing and molecular cloning.
• Compact Dimensions: Measures 165 mm x 165 mm x 122 mm (LxHxW) and weighs 4 kg, suitable for space-constrained research labs.
• Safety and Environment: CE certified, operational between 0°C and 38°C with 95% non-condensing relative humidity, appropriate for varied laboratory settings.

This vortex mixer is widely used in biotechnology research, synthetic biology, and molecular diagnostics, performing essential functions like enzyme reaction mixing, protein vortexing, and live-cell sample preparation. Its digital precision and adaptability make it indispensable for biomanufacturing pipelines and highly controlled laboratory mixing applications.
