Patent attributes
A head that can be coupled with a mixing apparatus includes a body that defines a longitudinal axis and includes a first side, a second side, a third side, and a fourth side. Each of the sides includes a projection. The body is configured to receive a microplate between the sides, which is removably secured to the body by the projections. At least one vertical channel in the body is configured to removably secure a first test tube to the body so that the longitudinal axis of the tube is perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the body. The first vertical channel has a first diameter. At least one horizontal channel in the body is configured to removably secure a second test tube so that the longitudinal axis of the tube is parallel to the longitudinal axis of the body. The first test tube and the second test tube can be coupled to the body at the same time.
