Vortex-Genie 2 Mixer, 120V

The Scientific Industries SI-0236 Vortex-Genie 2 is a versatile laboratory equipment that serves as a vortex mixer (shaker) with a variable speed range of 600 to 3,200 rpm. This allows users to gently shake or rapidly vortex samples as needed for various biochemical, microbiological, and other applications. The mixer can be operated either by touch or in continuous mode, providing flexibility in its usage.

One of the key features of this mixer is its removable cup head, which can accommodate a single tube up to 40 mm in diameter and 200 mm in length. Additionally, the device comes with a 3-inch platform that can hold a beaker, a flask, or multiple tubes, making it suitable for a variety of laboratory tasks.

The mixer's metal housing and shock-absorbing feet provide a stable platform, helping to prevent the unit from walking during operation. This stability is particularly useful when working in cold rooms or incubators, as the Vortex-Genie 2 is designed to be suitable for use in such environments.

Further enhancing its versatility, the Vortex-Genie 2 is compatible with various interchangeable mixing heads (sold separately) that can hold different types of vessels, such as microtubes and microplates. This allows users to customize the mixer to their specific needs.

Regarding the dimensions of the Vortex-Genie 2, the key measurements are: - Height (H): the vertical distance from the lowest to the highest point - Width (W): the horizontal distance from left to right - Depth (D): the horizontal distance from front to back

Vortex shakers, such as the Vortex-Genie 2, are commonly used in laboratories to mix small amounts of liquid in various containers. These devices can be either analog or digital and are typically automated, electrically powered, and designed for benchtop use. The user places a test tube, beaker, or other small vessel of liquid onto the spinning cup or platform, creating a vortex to effectively mix the contents.

Some models of vortex shakers, including the Vortex-Genie 2, can accommodate multiple containers simultaneously, often through the use of accessory attachments to the base. Additional features may include fixed or variable speeds, touch or hands-free operation, and compatibility with various voltage requirements.

Scientific Industries, the manufacturer of the Vortex-Genie 2, is a company that has been producing laboratory equipment such as shakers, mixers, homogenizers, and incubators under the Vortex-Genie and Genie brands since its founding in 1954. The company is headquartered in Bohemia, New York.
