The first liquid storage cylinder (11) is provided with a first liquid entry and exit port (111). The second liquid storage cylinder (12) is provided with a second liquid entry and exit port (121). One end of the first plunger (13) is inserted into an internal cavity of the first liquid storage cylinder (11). One end of the second plunger (14) is inserted into an internal cavity of the second liquid storage cylinder (12). Further provided is a liquid dispensing device (100). The advantageous effect of the invention is: during each linear reciprocating movement cycle of the first plunger (13) and the second plunger (14), the first liquid storage cylinder (11) and the second liquid storage cylinder (12) discharge corresponding ingredients according to a pre-determined mixing ratio, and a mixed solution according to the pre-determined mixing ratio is obtained, thereby achieving precise mixing of different ingredients. In addition, the dispensing pump (10) discharges ingredients at a consistent ratio, thereby achieving uniform mixing without a dedicated mixer.

A chemical solution dilution and delivery device for treating landscaping and gardens includes a vessel, which can contain a chemical solution, such as a fertilizer solution, an herbicide solution, and the like. A valve is engaged to the vessel proximate to a lower end of the vessel so that the valve is in fluidic communication with the vessel. A pipe is engaged to and extends bidirectionally from the valve. The pipe is in fluidic communication with the valve. The pipe has a first end and a second end, which are selectively engageable a pressurized water source and a spray assembly, respectively. The valve regulates a flowrate of the chemical solution from the vessel into water flowing through the pipe. A diluted chemical solution is dispensed from the spray assembly.

The invention relates to the field of biotechnology and pharmaceutics. Proposed is a method for ultra-high performance screening of biological objects which is based on microfluidic generation of droplets of a biocompatible water-in-oil-in-water double emulsion, and also a method for producing a monodisperse biocompatible water-in-oil-in-water double emulsion. The invention can be used in diagnosing conditions and diseases in mammals, as well as for investigating biological objects.

A method and system for forming a liquid mixture utilizes a mixing tank with a tank inlet oriented and configured to create a swirling liquid flow that forms a vortex within the tank. A portion of the swirling liquid is discharged through an outlet formed by an opening in a lower wall of the tank. At least a portion of the opening is offset to one side of a central axis of the lower wall. Liquid is circulated and reintroduced into the tank inlet. A material to be mixed is introduced into the swirling liquid flow within the tank interior to form a liquid mixture.

A liquid-mixing apparatus used in a liquid-mixing method comprises a plurality of supply valves provided to a cylinder. The supply valves make it possible to individually supply a plurality of types of liquids into a retention chamber. Each of the supply valves is configured so as to be switchable between an open state, in which the interior of a supply channel via which a liquid is supplied and the interior of the retention chamber intercommunicate, and a closed state, in which communication between the supply channel and the retention chamber is blocked. A piston moves in the direction in which the volume of the retention chamber increases while at least one of the supply valves is in the open state, whereby a liquid is drawn into the storage chamber.
