Product description

Digital vortex mixer with 3.5mm orbit, 500-2850 rpm speed, timer, compatible with PCR plates & biochemical mixing.

The Ohaus Digital Vortex-Genie 2 SI-A556 is a precision digital vortex mixer designed for critical biotechnology and molecular biology workflows, including reagent mixing, DNA/RNA sample homogenization, and protein vortexing in PCR setups. Featuring a digital control interface with a red LED display and adjustable timer ranging from 1 second to 99 minutes, it supports hands-free or touch operation, ensuring precise agitation essential for bioprocessing and molecular diagnostics.

Constructed with a durable zinc-casted housing and equipped with a 3-inch rubber-covered platform, this vortex mixer incorporates a "no-walking feet" design for stability during intensive laboratory applications such as suspension preparation and enzyme reaction mixing. The device operates on 230V power, is CE certified for safety, and is compatible with cold rooms and incubators, expanding its utility in biomedical engineering and synthetic biology laboratories.

Key technical specifications include:

  • Orbit diameter: 3.5 mm
  • Speed range: 500 to 2,850 rpm
  • Timer: Digital countdown timer (1 s to 99 min)
  • Dimensions: 165 mm x 165 mm x 122 mm (L x W x H)
  • Net weight: 4 kg (8.8 lb)
  • Power: 230 V, 0.5A, 50 Hz
  • Accessories: Applied Biosystem’s 96/384-well microplate adaptor, optimized for half-skirted and unskirted PCR plates

Widely adopted in molecular biology research and bioprocessing pipelines, the vortexer is essential for consistent mixing of reagents and samples, critical for synthetic biology research and molecular cloning workflows. The adjustable speed and timer provide reproducible sample blending, making it popular among researchers performing fluorescence analysis, live-cell imaging preparations, and clinical diagnostics requiring precise sample agitation.

This model meets stringent laboratory standards for safety and environmental tolerance with operational conditions ranging from 0°C to 38°C and 95% relative humidity (non-condensing), ensuring reliable performance in varied research environments.

Why Questpair exists

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.

Frequently asked questions

How long does laboratory equipment typically last?

With a service contract, ten to fifteen years is normal for most benchtop instruments. Detectors and pumps are the parts that wear first.

Can I get service for older equipment?

Yes. Every verified supplier states which service partners cover the instrument, and we list that alongside the offer.

Where can I buy parts?

Ask a scientist through the request button. Parts are often available even when the instrument itself is discontinued.

What is the typical lead time for refurbished equipment?

Two to six weeks, depending on refurbishment scope and whether calibration is included.

Does laboratory equipment ship internationally?

We ship to 38 countries. Crating and customs handling are quoted with the instrument.
