Working Principle
The benchtop oscillator uses an internal motor to drive containers in chosen vibration modes. Orbital gyratory for uniform liquid mixing, warping for strong up-down agitation (ideal for dye/decolorization), and reciprocating for precise back-and-forth motion (cell culture, hybridization). These modes ensure consistent sample processing for optimal results.
- Orbital gyratory: Circular mixing—uniform liquid handling.
- Warp plate: Swinging, strong vertical vibration—dyeing/decolorization.
- Reciprocating: Linear oscillation—for precise sample treatment.
Application Fields
- Electrophoresis gel processing: Fixation, staining, decolorization, developing in molecular biology/cytology.
- Radioactive developing: Developing/fixing X-ray negatives for clear, even imaging.
- Cell culture: Uniform shaking for optimal cell growth.
- Molecular hybridization: Stable environment for repeatable, accurate results.
- Antigen-antibody reactions: Efficient mixing for immunology.
- Chemical experiments: Solution mixing, reaction solution treatment, uniform chemical sample processing.
