Abstract:
An apparatus has a container conveyor configured to transport a container to locations within the apparatus. The locations include a liquid station comprising a liquid source configured to dispense a liquid to the container, an additive station comprising an additive source configured to dispense an additive to the container, a distribution station accessible to a user and configured to receive the container, and a blending station separate from the liquid station, the additive station, and the distribution station. The blending station includes a blending mechanism configured to blend, in the container, the liquid and the additive to form a mixture. The blending station also has a cleaning chamber with a cleaning mechanism configured to clean remains of the mixture from the blending mechanism and the cleaning chamber.
Abstract:
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Laborgerät, insbesondere einen Überkopfrührer, mit einer Sensoreinrichtung, die dazu ausgebildet ist, eine Bewegung des Laborgeräts zu erfassen.

Abstract:
A batch or continuous mixer for mixing powders, immiscible liquids, or a powder with a liquid includes one or more vibrational energy applicators which propagate vibrational energy into the mixture, causing powders to flow like liquids and breaking up liquid droplets and powder clumps. In embodiments, the vibration frequency and amplitude are selected according to properties of the mixture components. Vibrations can be propagated through container walls, impellers, or other structures within the mixing container. Vibrated structures can be flexibly supported for enhanced propagation of the vibrations. Vibrational energy can be uniform throughout the container, or focused in a desired region. Ultrasonic energy can be simultaneously applied with acoustic energy.

Abstract:
Компоненты теста перемешивают в тестомесильном аппарате (2). Полученное тесто делят на порции, каждую из которых сбивают с получением аэрированного теста. Перемешивание и сбивание проводят различными устройствами. Сбивание проводят под давлением не менее 0,3МПа с последующим снижением давления до атмосферного с регулируемой скоростью порядка 0,02-0,2 МПа/с. Снижение давления до атмосферного производят либо до, либо после вывода сбивающего устройства 6 из теста. Процесс сбивания проводят в хлебопекарных формах (1), или в промежуточных стаканах (16), с последующей перегрузкой в формы (1). Перегрузку производят либо в формы (1) находящиеся под атмосферным давлением, после снижения давления в промежуточных стаканах 16 до атмосферного, либо в формы (1), находящиеся под повышенным давлением, а снижение давления до атмосферного производят после перегрузки. Изобретение позволяет упростить и повысить точность деления теста, повысить качество сбивного теста, снизить энергоемкость и увеличить производительность производства.
Abstract:
A system and method are provided for large volume sample amplification adaptable for use with conventional PCR-based reactions as well as emulsion-based PCR reactions. A sample is retained in a pouch or flexible bag which permits bulk PCR amplification with efficient heat-transfer properties. For applications involving emulsion-based PCR amplification, the system and method provide improved uniformity in emulsion amplification and can be used to amplify large or small volume emulsions rapidly and reproducibly.
