The thermal mixer module is used for orbital shaking and incubation of the samples. The AB0765 Abgene™ 96 Well 0.8mL Polypropylene Deepwell Storage Plate is used as the input sample plate. This module is used to shake and heat the batch-prepared samples over a long duration. The samples are shaken at a constant temperature.
