Application in Allergen Testing
This vortex mixer can be used to thoroughly agitate food samples and extraction solutions, ensuring the efficient release of analytes such as allergens and residues into the liquid phase. It is employed at two critical stages of the testing protocol:
1. Initial Mixing (Post-Extraction Solution Addition): After adding the extraction solution to the homogenised sample, the tube is vortexed for 30 seconds to ensure full interaction between the sample and the buffer.
2. Secondary Mixing (Post-Heating and Cooling): Following thermal denaturation and cooling, vortexing is repeated for 30 seconds to re-suspend settled particles and ensure a homogenous extract for analysis.
