If all you want to do is get all the liquid to the bottom of the plate
after mixing then go to a kitchen supply store and buy a "salad
spinner". For about 12 bucks you can spin two microtiter plates at once.
An addition of some wire or PE tubing makes a holder for the two plates
held slightly off vertical. This is a tad cheaper than the RC-5B plate
holders.
hope this helps, Paul
