摘要:
A fluid mixing system includes a flexible bag having an interior surface bounding a compartment. An elongated first tubular connector is disposed within the compartment of the flexible bag, the first tubular connector having a first end and an opposing second end, the first end of the first tubular connector being coupled with the flexible bag. An elongated second tubular connector is disposed within the compartment of the flexible bag, the second tubular connector being more rigid than the first tubular connector and having a first end coupled to the second end of the first tubular connector. A plurality of impeller are disposed on the elongated second tubular connector at spaced apart locations.

The device (10) enables a liquid to be mixed in containers (94) with a small-dimension opening (92), and comprises: a rotatable hub (12) provided with at least two blades (20) which can assume a working position in which the blades (20) extend from the hub (12) substantially in a radial direction, and a rest position in which the blades (20) are folded close to the axis (14) of rotation of the hub (12); a linear means (28;228) for transmitting rotary movement from a drive shaft (56) to the hub (12), this means (28;228) being rigid against flexure during operation, so enabling it to be swivelled; and a closure element (72) to be applied to the opening (92) of the container (94), the closure element (72) presenting a through hole (73) enabling the linear transmission means (28;228) to pass through the closure element (72).

摘要:
A fluid mixing system includes a container, such as a flexible bag, bounding a compartment. A flexible drive line is disposed within the compartment, the drive line having a first end rotatably connected to a first end of the container and an opposing second end rotatably connected to a second end of the container. At least one mixing element, such as an impeller, is coupled with the flexible drive line. Rotation of the drive line facilitates rotation of the impeller within the container.

A simple, robust and low-cost torsionally flexible, sealed drive that allows external drives to provide agitation within a container. A torsionally flexible tube is sealed to a torsionally rigid portion of a container. A second end of the tube is sealed to a driven element within the container. The driven element is coupled to a drive- shaft that is partly contained within the tube. Motion of the protruding end of the drive shaft imparts a corresponding motion to the driven element, while maintaining a water-tight seal between container and drive-shaft. One useful motion is a rotary oscillation. A stepper motor may operate via such a drive to impart a rotary oscillation to an impellor in a bioreactor, or mixing container, suitable for agitating a cell culture in a nutrient medium or hydrating a powdered media in water. The drive is suited to use in disposable bioreactors and mixers.
