Our lab does a lot of chromatin immuno-precipitations, 3C assays, immuno blots and other applications where you need to incubate the samples at various temperatures for extended durations, sometimes for more than 16 hrs !!! The key to the success of the experiment is to have a constant temperature and continuous shaking for extended period of time and that is why we chose Eppendorf Thermomixer R. I have checked it myself using the thermometer and the temperatures on the machine are constant. Its used extensively and is virtually never free in the lab !!

Experimental Design and Results Summary

Tips

Using the interval mix helps. It will mix the beads for set time and wil be then static for set time and repeats this cycle until you want to stop.
