[0002] Marine mussels, such as blue mussels, thick-shelled mussels, green mussels, etc., use mussel mucin secreted by their foot threads to fix themselves on solid surfaces such as rocks, hulls, cables, drift bottles, etc. under the sea, forming a water-resistant bond and withstanding the scouring of wind and waves. Mussel mucin is extracted from the foot thread glands of marine mussels and purified by industrial chromatography to obtain a single protein with high purity. It has the functions of promoting cell adhesion and crawling, promoting wound healing, inhibiting itching, broad-spectrum adhesion, and forming a water-resistant protective film. It can be widely used in surface chemistry, biomedicine, marine engineering, daily chemical products and other fields.

During the mixing process, the test tube is often gently shaken to make the prepared solution shake in the test tube to avoid excessive force causing mechanical damage to the mussel mucin. However, the existing test tube mixing equipment often has a large force and is easy to cause damage to the mussel mucin during the mixing process, and thus the overall practicality is not high.
