A mixing apparatus and system includes a hub, a plurality of blades, and a respective hinge for each blade to pivotally secure each blade to the hub. Each hinge including a lock having a tab and a detent to secure the respective blade in an operating conformation.

A color mixing device is provided. The color mixing device includes: a mounting cabinet, a plurality of injection assemblies, a conveying assembly, a drive part, and a controller. A sliding table assembly arranged in a first direction is mounted in the mounting cabinet. The plurality of injection assemblies are arranged in the mounting cabinet in rows and columns. Each injection assembly has a material storage cavity and a discharge nozzle communicated with the material storage cavity. The conveying assembly is movably arranged on the sliding table assembly in the first direction. The conveying assembly has a mounting station and an injection station relative to the mounting cabinet. When the conveying assembly is positioned at the injection station, the each injection assembly positioned on the conveying assembly is capable of injecting a material through a corresponding discharge nozzle.

A fluid mixing system includes a flexible bag having a first end, an opposing second end, and an interior surface bounding a compartment. A first rotational assembly includes a first casing mounted to the first end of the flexible bag and a first hub rotatably mounted to the first casing. A second rotational assembly includes a second casing mounted to the second end of the flexible bag and a second hub rotatably mounted to the second casing. An elongated member has a first end coupled with the first hub and an opposing second end coupled with the second hub, the connector being flexible and having a uniform flexibility along its entire length. A first impeller is mounted to the connector.

A fluid mixing system includes a flexible bag having a first end, an opposing second end, and an interior surface bounding a compartment; a retainer coupled to the second end of the flexible bag, the retainer having a retention cavity formed thereon that communicates with the compartment of the flexible bag; and an elongated member having a first end rotatably coupled to the first end of the flexible bag and an opposing second end freely disposed within the retention cavity of the retainer so that the second end of the elongated member can rotate within the retention cavity relative to the retainer.

A liquid-mixing device that minimizes solvent leakage and reduces creep of or damage to the component parts of said liquid-mixing device even at ultrahigh pressures of 100 MPa and up. Also, a liquid chromatography device using said liquid-mixing device. Said liquid chromatography device is provided with a supply pump that supplies a plurality of different solutions, a liquid-mixing device that mixes the supplied solutions, a sample injection device that injects a sample into the mixture of solutions, a column that separates the components of the injected sample, and a detector that detects the separated components. The liquid-mixing device has an inlet-side connector through which the plurality of different solutions flow in, a liquid-mixing section in which said solutions are mixed, and an outflow-side connector through which the mixed solutions flow out. The inlet-side connector and the liquid-mixing section are directly bonded to each other via diffusion bonding, as are the liquid-mixing section and the exit-side connector.

An agitation device for agitating products held in wells of sample vessels or a laboratory microplate is disclosed. The device is arranged to retain a microplate and to agitate an agitation member comprising an array of agitation projections which enter the wells of the microplate. The agitating motion can be horizontal and damping means can be provided between an actuator and parts of the device to reduce overall vibrations. A related method of agitation of microplate or sample vessel contents is described. A novel arrangement for receiving a replaceable agitation member for the device is also disclosed.

The present disclosure relates to a mixing assembly for a fluid mixing system. The mixing assembly includes a first rotational assembly having a first casing and a first hub rotatably mounted to the first casing, a second rotational assembly having a second casing and a second hub rotatably mounted to the second casing, an elongated member having a first end coupled with the first hub and an opposing second end coupled with the second hub, and one or more impellers secured to the elongated member.
