Oscillating Dry Baths & Thermo Shakers
Optimize your sample preparation with WIX Technology’s oscillating dry baths. Also known as thermo shakers, our advanced incubators combine highly accurate temperature control with efficient orbital mixing. Featuring flagship models like the WIX-dryBATH-HCS (heating, cooling, and mixing) and the WIX-dryBATH-HS (heating and mixing), we provide the perfect benchtop solutions for DNA extraction, enzyme reactions, and cell lysis.

High-Efficiency Thermo Shakers for Life Sciences
In molecular biology, many protocols require simultaneous temperature control and vigorous agitation to ensure optimal reaction kinetics or pellet resuspension. WIX Technology’s oscillating dry baths (thermo shakers) eliminate the need to constantly move samples between an incubator and a standalone shaker. Our systems provide a seamless, all-in-one solution, boasting exceptional temperature accuracy (the deviation is only ±0.5℃ when the temperature is between 20-45℃) combined with stable and quiet mixing capabilities.
Key Features of WIX Oscillating Dry Baths
Our thermo shakers are engineered with proprietary WIX technologies to improve both your experimental results and your daily laboratory workflow:
-
Heating, Cooling & Mixing Integration: The WIX-dryBATH-HCS Constant Temperature Oscillating Thermo Dry Bath offers complete thermal management. It allows you to heat, actively cool (with a control range of 15℃ to 110℃), and vigorously mix your samples in a single automated run.
-
Tool-Free Module Connection: Swapping heating blocks for different tubes is entirely tool-free. We utilize an innovative push-and-pull chucking module connection. The bearing module adheres to the machine automatically without requiring any screws or external tools.
-
Insulation Function Cover: Mixing at high speeds often causes rapid heat dissipation. Our oscillating dry baths are equipped with a specialized cover with an insulation function, completely avoiding heat loss and ensuring strict temperature uniformity across all tubes.
-
Programmable Controls: Save time and reduce errors with advanced programme editing and storage. You can pre-set multi-step protocols that seamlessly transition through different temperatures and shaking speeds.
Versatile Laboratory Applications
By integrating precise thermal control and orbital mixing, WIX oscillating dry baths accelerate workflows across multiple disciplines:
-
Genomics & Proteomics: DNA/RNA purification, protein extraction, and rapid cell lysis.
-
Enzymatic Reactions: Restriction digests, kinase assays, and ligation.
-
General Incubation: Bacterial culture growth and dissolving tough chemical pellets.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: What is the exact difference between the WIX-dryBATH-HCS and WIX-dryBATH-HS?
A: Both models provide precise heating and oscillating (mixing) functions. The key difference is that the WIX-dryBATH-HCS features an additional active cooling function (Heating, Cooling, and Shaking) for sub-ambient incubations, whereas the WIX-dryBATH-HS is designed exclusively for heating and shaking.
Q: Do I need to use tools to change the shaking modules for different tube sizes?
A: No tools are required whatsoever. Our proprietary push-and-pull chucking connection allows the module to automatically lock into the machine base. This makes swapping blocks between 0.2ml PCR tubes and 1.5ml centrifuge tubes instant and effortless.
Q: How do you maintain temperature stability during high-speed shaking?
A: Temperature drops during mixing are a common flaw in standard models. WIX solves this by equipping the unit with a dedicated insulation function cover that seals the thermal environment, preventing ambient heat dissipation even when operating at maximum oscillation speeds.
