OHAUS Vortex-Genie 2T Laboratory Vortex Mixer
OHAUS Vortex-Genie 2T Laboratory Vortex Mixer
€505,00 excl. VAT
The OHAUS Vortex-Genie 2T is an analog laboratory vortex mixer that adds a programmable timer to the Vortex-Genie 2 platform, for automatic stops after 1 to 60 seconds or 1 to 60 minutes. It runs at 600 rpm to 2700 rpm on 50Hz models, in touch or continuous hands-free mode. The unit ships with a 3-inch platform and a pop-off cup, and accepts more than 30 optional accessories for tubes from microtube size up to 50 ml. Laboratories use the timer function for procedures that need a fixed, repeatable mixing duration without watching the clock. The zinc-cast housing and no-walking-feet design keep the unit stable during operation. It suits routine bench work where timed mixing steps matter, such as sample prep protocols with a specified vortex duration.
OHAUS Vortex-Genie 2T: Analog Vortex Mixer with Programmable Timer
The OHAUS Vortex-Genie 2T extends the Vortex-Genie 2 platform with a programmable timer, so laboratories running timed mixing steps do not need a separate stopwatch. It suits protocols that specify a fixed vortex duration, from short bursts to multi-minute runs. The touch and hands-free modes cover both quick single-tube mixing and longer, unattended runs. With more than 30 compatible accessories, it adapts from single microtubes to multi-tube racks and larger vessels.
- Timer runs from 1 second to 60 minutes for automatic stops
- Speed range of 600 rpm to 2700 rpm on 50Hz models
- Touch operation for quick mixing or hands-free for longer runs
- Compatible with more than 30 Vortex-Genie accessories for various tube sizes
- Fits protocols that specify an exact vortex mixing duration
OHAUS Vortex-Genie 2T Laboratory Vortex Mixer
The OHAUS Vortex-Genie 2T builds on the analog Vortex-Genie 2 platform by adding a programmable timer, so laboratories can set an exact mixing duration and let the unit stop automatically.
The Vortex-Genie 2T is used across biotechnology, pharmaceutical, and academic laboratories for protocols that specify a fixed vortex duration, alongside general sample mixing and re-suspending.
Programmable Timer for Automatic Stops
The timer runs from 1 second to 60 minutes, so the unit stops mixing automatically once the set duration elapses, freeing the operator from watching a stopwatch.
Touch or Hands-Free Operation
The Vortex-Genie 2T runs in touch mode, where the tube activates mixing on contact with the platform, or in continuous hands-free mode for longer unattended runs.
- Touch mode for quick single-tube mixing
- Hands-free mode for continuous, timed operation
Analog Speed Control
Speed is set with a dial from 600 rpm to 2700 rpm on 50Hz models, covering gentle mixing through vigorous agitation.
Compatible with a Wide Accessory Range
The Vortex-Genie 2T accepts more than 30 optional accessories, including vertical and horizontal tube holders and the TurboMix attachment, so the same base unit adapts from single microtubes to multi-tube racks and larger vessels.
Ideal Applications
The Vortex-Genie 2T suits laboratories running protocols with a specified mixing duration.
- Timed sample mixing steps in defined protocols
- Dissolving reagents and buffers for a set duration
- Suspending or re-suspending pellets
- Sample preparation for life science applications
Choose the Vortex-Genie 2T When:
- Your protocol specifies an exact vortex mixing duration
- You want automatic stops instead of manual timing
- You want touch and hands-free operation in the same unit
