Digital vortex mixer with 3.5 mm orbit, 500–2850 rpm speed, 1 s–99 min timer, ideal for PCR and bioprocessing tasks.
The Ohaus Digital Vortex-Genie 2 SI-A596 is a precision digital vortex mixer designed for advanced laboratory workflows including PCR setup, DNA/RNA mixing, and reagent homogenization. This model features a 3.5 mm orbital motion with a wide speed range of 500 to 2850 rpm, enabling efficient sample agitation across diverse molecular diagnostics and synthetic biology applications.
Key specifications include a highly durable zinc-cast housing with an anti-slip "no-walking feet" design and a 3-inch rubber-covered platform to securely accommodate tubes and microplates. The included Applied Biosystem's 96/384-well microplate adaptor is optimized specifically for bioprocessing and molecular cloning workflows requiring uniform vortexing of half-skirted and unskirted PCR plates.
Its digital control interface offers adjustable speed and a timer ranging from 1 second to 99 minutes, combined with an easy-to-read red LED display for precise operation in temperature-controlled environments such as cold rooms and incubators. The unit operates on 230V, 0.5A, 50Hz power and carries CE certification for safety compliance.
This vortex mixer is essential for researchers and biotechnologists conducting sample homogenization, enzyme reaction mixing, and liquid emulsification in applications including synthetic biology, cell imaging preparation, and molecular diagnostics. Its robust design and specialized features make it widely adopted in biotechnology and clinical diagnostics laboratories, supporting critical steps in biomanufacturing and gene editing research.
Lab equipment markets are fragmented. Buyers spend weeks calling distributors, comparing quotes, and verifying supplier reliability. Sellers struggle to reach global research labs.
We built Questpair to fix this. Every supplier on the platform is verified before listing. Every quote you receive comes from a real, vetted seller. AI prepares your case in minutes, then a real specialist takes over.
We're an independent team based in The Netherlands, working with research labs and procurement teams across Europe and worldwide.
With a service contract, ten to fifteen years is normal for most benchtop instruments. Detectors and pumps are the parts that wear first.
Often, yes. Verified suppliers frequently work with service partners converting the instrument. If applicable, we can list servicing options alongside the offer.
Ask a scientist through the request button. Parts are often available even when the instrument itself is discontinued.
Two to six weeks, depending on refurbishment scope and whether calibration is included.
We ship to 38 countries. Crating and customs handling are quoted with the instrument.
Tell us what you need and a scientist finds it for you, usually within the hour.
