Microplate vortex mixers
Our Microplate vortex mixers category covers vortex mixers built to hold and agitate microplates directly, instead of individual tubes. It includes the Ohaus VXMPAL and VXMPDG, the Biobase MX-M with its interchangeable microplate clamp, and the Digital Vortex-Genie 2 ABI, configured specifically for Applied Biosystems 96 and 384-well microplate protocols.

About Our Microplate Vortex Mixers
Microplate vortex mixers replace a manual tube-by-tube workflow with a single platform that agitates an entire plate at once, using an orbital motion suited to 96-well or 384-well formats. This is useful for PCR plate mixing, nucleic acid isolation protocols, and other plate-based sample preparation.
Biobase MX-M: Flexible Plate and Tube Mixing
The Biobase MX-M runs an orbital shaking motion with a 4.5 mm orbital diameter, from 0 to 1500 rpm with a single microplate or 0 to 1000 rpm with two microplates stacked. It ships with a universal top plate and tube adapter as standard, and an optional microplate clamp secures plates directly for orbital mixing.
Digital Vortex-Genie 2 ABI: Built for Applied Biosystems Protocols
The Digital Vortex-Genie 2 ABI replaces the standard Vortex-Genie platform with a dedicated Applied Biosystems 96 and 384-well microplate adaptor, for laboratories running Applied Biosystems-specified mixing steps in nucleic acid isolation or PCR plate preparation.
Ohaus VXMPAL and VXMPDG
The Ohaus VXMPAL and VXMPDG extend the OHAUS vortex mixer range to microplate formats, in analog and digital control versions. See each product page for full specifications.
Who This Category Suits
Laboratories running PCR plate preparation, nucleic acid isolation, or other protocols that mix samples directly in 96 or 384-well microplates, across molecular biology, genomics, and diagnostics workflows.

Microplate vortex mixers are part of our full range of Laboratory vortex mixers, alongside heavy-duty, mini, and multi-tube formats for tube-based work. If your plate-based protocol calls for ultrasonic processing rather than vortex mixing, such as multi-well cell lysis or nucleic acid extraction, see our Multi-Channel Ultrasonicators, built for sonication across an entire well plate at once.
