The Scientific Industries SI-0236 Vortex-Genie 2 is a vortex mixer (shaker) with variable speed of 600 to 3,200rpm for gentle shaking to rapid vortexing of samples, and Will also be operated by touch or in continuous mode. This mixer comes with a removable cup head for a single tube up to 40mm in diameter and 200mm in length, and a 3″ platform for a beaker, a flask, or more than one tubes. Additional interchangeable mixing heads for holding vessels such as microtubes and microplates are to be had (sold one by one). The mixer’s metal housing and shock-absorbing feet provide a stable platform to lend a hand prevent walking. It may be used in cold rooms and incubators, is Electrical Testing Labs (ETL) listed, and has European Conformity (CE) marking. Vortex shakers are regularly used in laboratories to mix liquids.

H is height, the vertical distance from the lowest to highest point; W is width, the horizontal distance from left to right; D is depth, the horizontal distance from front to back.

Vortex shakers mix small amounts of liquid in laboratory containers for biochemical, microbiological, and other applications. A vortex shaker Will also be analog or digital and is regularly an automated, electrically powered, benchtop unit with a base that holds a rubber cup or a platform that spins off center. The user places a test tube, beaker, or other small vessel of liquid onto the spinning cup or platform, creating a vortex to mix the liquid. Some models can hold more than one containers, ceaselessly by an accessory attached to the base. Additional features may include fixed or variable speeds, touch or hands-free operation, and more than a few voltages.

Scientific Industries manufactures laboratory equipment such as shakers and mixers, homogenizers, and incubators under the Vortex-Genie and Genie brands. The company, founded in 1954, is headquartered in Bohemia, NY.
