👉 A shake fluid, often used in the context of chemical reactions or material synthesis, is a mixture of two or more fluids vigorously agitated to promote mixing and enhance reaction rates. This technique involves rapidly stirring the fluids together, usually by shaking a flask or container, to ensure thorough and homogeneous blending. The intense agitation helps to break down larger particles, increase surface area contact, and facilitate the exchange of reactants, leading to more efficient chemical reactions or improved material properties. Shake flasks are commonly used for this purpose due to their ease of use and effectiveness in achieving a well-mixed solution.
