Also Known as Thermal Mixers and Thermal Shakers
Thermomixers are designed to simultaneous incubate and shake samples, allowing scientists control over mixing speed and temperature. The precision and accuracy of heating and speed can lead to more reproducible results.
Popular application examples:
Plasmid, RNA, and DNA purification
Lipid extractions
Reverse transcription and cDNA synthesis
Bacteria and yeast growth
DNA, RNA, and protein denaturation
Lysis reactions
Enzymatic reactions
Gentle thawing of samples
DNA and Proteinase K Digestions
DNA ligation
Transformations/genetic engineering
