Abstract (en)

[origin: US2007177457A1] An apparatus for mixing of liquid substances or distribution of solid substances in liquid substances in a plurality of sample containers arranged in a microplate ( 7 ) is supported on a horizontally displaceable support plate ( 2 ). A motor ( 3 ) that is provided with an unbalance is held via its stator ( 3 A) above a base ( 1 ) directly on the underside of the support plate ( 2 ), the rotational axis (D) of the rotor ( 3 B) being disposed perpendicular to the support plate ( 2 ). The support plate ( 2 ) with the motor ( 3 ) rests on at least three horizontally elastically movable bearing elements ( 6 ), whose points of attachment to the base ( 1 ) and to the support plate ( 2 ) are chosen such that the support plate ( 2 ) with the microplate ( 7 ) in the idle position assumes a specified position in the X-Y plane due to the reset force of the bearing elements ( 6 ), and in the shaking mode, as a result of the lateral, directionally identical deflection of the bearing elements ( 6 ) effected by the unbalance of the motor ( 3 ), performs a horizontal, non-torsional shaking movement against the reset force of the bearing elements. In the process, all sample containers of the microplate ( 7 ) describe an identical orbit in the X-Y plane and an identical energy for mixing is imparted to all sample containers.
