Abstract
The present invention comprises a horizontal, perforated agitator element and means to cause the agitator element to reciprocate vertically within a reservoir containing a fluid suspension, solution, or mixture. The perforations in the agitator element are sized and located so that an array of pipette tips may be inserted into the fluid through the moving agitator element without interference.
