Need some brainstorming please!! (cos mine fell short, lol)
So I have ~10mgs of bud sample to put in an eppendorf tube (with lid) with some solvent:
PROBLEM: But I don't want to be standing around manually shaking it with my hands for half an hour, and I don't just want to leave it sitting still either.
SOLUTION? So it seems I need some sort of vibrator. And no, i'm not sure how to rephrase that.
I was thinking it could be something as simple as a SUBWOOFER, and the cup shape would help keep it in place too (as opposed to vibrating off the source of vibration like a mat, but a box would probably solve that), but im not an audio techy and i dont know how to do that without it being too noisy
Another thought was sitting it in a small tub of water (im assuming the eppendorf lids are waterproof plus they should float with the trapped air) under a tap, and simply having the TAP DRIP a couple times a second to keep it constantly moving a bit in the tub. Not as good vibrating as from a subwoofer but better than nothing and wouldnt cost tooo much water (actually itd be easy to sit everything in a big bowl to capture it all back), and no electricity/other expense.
Any other ideas?
