Description

An oscillator is a laboratory instrument used to provide continuous and controlled oscillation or vibration to samples or containers. It typically consists of a platform or tray that moves back and forth, creating a reciprocating motion. Oscillators are commonly used for mixing, agitation, or liquid distribution in applications such as cell culture, staining, hybridization, or Western blotting. They offer gentle and uniform agitation, ensuring thorough mixing of samples without causing excessive shear or damage. Oscillators are versatile tools found in biological, biochemical, and molecular biology laboratories, contributing to efficient and reproducible experimental results.
