Advalytix’s patented SAW technology is the ideal solution for contactless mixing of low-volume liquids, typically in the 1µl to 3ml range. Surface acoustic waves’ (SAW) superior mixing efficiency improves reaction kinetics, sensitivity and reproducibility for immunoassays, cell-based assays, analyte uptake, compound solubilization, and many more applications.

• No risk of cross-contamination
• No robotics needed for stirring
• Stirring at any process step, even while detecting
• No cleaning of external stirring device necessary
• No moving parts
• Maintenance-free
• Wireless power supply option
• Customizable geometries
• Easy to integrate
• Silent
• Vibration-free
SAW Products
PB96 and PB384: For low-volume mixing in 96 or 384 well microplates. Provides vibration free rapid and gentle agitation without risk of contamination or spillage. The PlateBooster is perfect for integration into automated liquid handling systems because pipetting and mixing can be performed simultaneously (see video)
SlideBooster: Active hybridization improves reaction kinetics, sensitivity and reproducibility for microarrays, in situ hybridization (FISH), comparative genomic hybridization (CGH), Chromosome staining, and Immuno-histochemistry (IHC)
SAW Station: Affordable instrument to validate SAW mixing or as a stand-alone mixer. Often used to validate benefits of SAW mixing for custom applications, or optimize protocols. Contains a single mixer module to mix or homogenize liquids and particles in microtiter plate wells, cuvettes, open droplets, flow chambers and other sample containers (see video)
CellEvatorAria: Stabilizes event rates for cell sorting with flow cytometer
(see video)
OEM and custom solutions: Custom SAW design services and OEM options. Many of our customers start their feasibility studies with our single well SST4 or our MTP mixers PB96 or PB384. Custom projects include low cost disposable and semi-disposable mixing solutions such as active cuvettes, lab on a chip mixing and pumps for microfluidic transport.
