Applications
The Micromix 5 is an orbital shaker intended for laboratory use in molecular biology, immunology, clinical diagnostics, and biochemistry workflows. It is well suited for mixing microplates, microtubes, Eppendorf tubes, and similar sample vessels — common tasks in ELISA assays, cell culture incubation, sample preparation, and hybridization protocols. The RS-232 interface allows integration with laboratory automation software or data-logging systems. Euro/DPC produced this instrument primarily for use in clinical and research labs during the early 2000s; the Micromix series was widely used in immunoassay and diagnostics environments that required gentle, consistent orbital mixing of multi-well plates and tube racks.
This DPC Micromix 5 orbital shaker mixer has been inspected and appears to be in good used condition. It was pulled from a working lab environment where it was previously in service. The unit shows normal cosmetic wear consistent with lab use; the housing and platform are intact with no notable damage visible. The original 24V DC power supply is included.
