The TMX module can be loaded and unloaded with the gripper. Pipetting to the mixer is possible before and after mixingsteps. The TMX module is fully software-controlled enabling pipetting on other worktable positions while the mixer isin operation. TMX mixing is based on Eppendorfs 2DMix-Control technology. Orbital shaking combined with the perfectbalance of speed and mixing radius ensure the best stirring results e.g. in resuspending bacteria pellets or beads. The2DMix-Control eliminates the need for additional centrifugation steps as the orbital shaking prevents dropletscollecting on the side of the tube or plate wells.
