FAQ
What type of Mixing Technologies are there?
Mixing technologies include orbital shakers, thermoshakers, and units with integrated heating and cooling, as well as devices that provide controlled turning and tilting.
What factors influence the choice of Mixing Technologies?
The choice of a mixing technology depends on the characteristics of the sample and the requirements of the workflow. Tilting motions are best for gentle mixing of delicate or viscous samples, while turning or orbital shaking is more suitable for thorough homogenization. Heating is applied when reactions or enzymatic processes require elevated temperatures, and cooling is necessary for temperature-sensitive biological samples.
What types of samples can Mixing Technologies handle?
Mixing technologies are highly versatile and can handle a wide range of samples. They support cells, maintaining gentle motion to protect cell health, as well as liquids, reagents, DNA/RNA, proteins, and chemical or enzymatic reactions, where precise motion and temperature control ensure uniform mixing and reproducible results across biological and chemical workflows.
Why are Mixing Technologies important?
Mixing technologies are essential for achieving consistent, reproducible, and efficient sample preparation. By precisely controlling motion and, when needed, temperature, they ensure uniform mixing, protect sensitive samples, and maintain reaction stability – key factors for reliable results in automated and high-precision laboratory workflows.
What containers are Mixing Technologies compatible with?
Mixing technologies support a wide variety of containers, including microplates, deep-well plates, PCR plates, tubes, and vials, allowing them to accommodate different sample volumes and types.
