Mixing/Defoaming centrifuge for 1536well plate Well Tornado FK-62
It is very important to mix solutions inside the well of microtiter plate during high-throughput screening to prevent significant variation in the experimental results.
The mixing of solutions in 384-well plate is satisfied by plate shaker, however small quantities and viscosity of solutions make it difficult to mix solutions completely in 1536-well plate.
This device does not agitate the microtiter plate itself, but mixes solution by rotation and revolution. Mixing is completed in 1536-well plate when the rotational centrifuge force is put on vertical and horizontal directions simultaneously.
Moreover, it absolutely removes minuscule bubbles which are impossible to do with a general centrifuge.

MMixing tests with two color water paints in 1536-well plate
No Mixing

Yellow and blue water paints were dispensed to clear 1536-well plate. (4uL/well respectively)
Plate Shaker

The plate was mixed with a plate shaker for 3 minutes. (Paints were hardly mixed.)
Well Tornado

The plate was mixed with “Well Tornado” for 3 minutes.
“Well Tornado” can mix viscous solutions completely in 1536-well plate.
