A dual asymmetric centrifuge is a mixer that combines centrifugal-type rotation (rotation around a point outside the sample holder) with rotation around the central axis of the sample holder. This combination of opposing forces enables rapid mixing of the contents of the sample holder, without entraining any air. Sample holders are sized to balance the load during mixing. After mixing the material is transferred to the vehicle used for dispensing. This is a very effective way to thoroughly mix small quantities of materials with no air bubbles.
