Vortex Mixer SI-0236 Vortex-Genie 2 Scientific Industries 120V Shaker

Description

Product Overview

The SI-0236 Vortex-Genie 2 Mixer is engineered by Scientific Industries to meet the demanding needs of modern laboratories. Featuring a robust metal housing, the unit delivers a wide speed range of 600 to 3,200 rpm, allowing users to transition seamlessly from gentle shaking to rapid vortexing. The shock‑absorbing feet minimize vibration transmission, ensuring a stable platform even during high‑speed operation. A removable cup head provides flexibility: a single‑tube cup for precise sample handling or a 3‑inch platform that accommodates beakers, flasks, and multiple tubes simultaneously. The mixer operates on standard 120 V power, making it compatible with most laboratory power supplies. Its compact dimensions—9.21 × 8.66 × 6.81 inches—and lightweight design (5 lb) enable easy placement on benchtops, inside cold rooms, or within incubators without compromising performance.

Usage

Designed for versatility, the Vortex-Genie 2 excels in a variety of laboratory applications. Molecular biologists can use the gentle shaking mode to mix delicate cell suspensions, while chemists benefit from the rapid vortexing capability for thorough reagent homogenization. The removable cup head simplifies workflow: insert a single microcentrifuge tube for precise mixing, or switch to the 3‑inch platform to process multiple samples at once, ideal for high‑throughput screening. Its metal construction and shock‑absorbing feet make it safe for use in temperature‑controlled environments such as cold rooms and incubators, where consistent performance is critical. The intuitive touch‑control panel offers both touch‑activated and continuous operation modes, allowing users to select the exact speed required for each protocol, from 600 rpm for gentle agitation to 3,200 rpm for vigorous vortexing.
