Apparatus and system of components to mechanically exfoliate particulate materials using a multi-axis approach to deliver predetermined forces to a particulate material, including containers to hold particulate material and media, also including media, and, the associated parameters for operating such equipment along with methods and compositions provided by the apparatus and methods.

A method is for preparing a medical/chemical solution by mixing a medical/chemical substance housed in a sealed container with a solution housed in a bag. The method includes transferring, from the bag into a syringe, an amount of the solution that is to be injected into a plurality of the containers. With the container and the syringe being held, at least one of a robot and a syringe driver configured to drive a plunger of the syringe is controlled so as to inject the amount of the solution into the plurality of the containers from the syringe.

A method is for preparing a medical/chemical solution that includes a mixture of a medical/chemical substance and a solution. The method includes, after the solution has been injected from a syringe into a container containing the medical/chemical substance, shaking the container using a robot with the container held by a hand mounted on one end of an arm of the robot.

The analyzer mixes the material to be analyzed and the flux in sample holders supported by a moveable platform within the furnace. A tilt member is provided having multiple stations. Each station has an upstanding pin offset from the center point of the station in a different direction. The platform is indexed relative to the tilt member such that the sample holder aligns with each station, in sequence. As the sample holder aligns with each station, the platform is moved toward the tilt member such that the pin of the aligned station abuts and tilts the sample holder in a different direction. The repeated tilting of the sample holder in different directions mixes the material and flux. The contents of the sample holder may also be agitated by rapidly moving the platform back and forth with sudden stops. The analyzer can be used with a special sample holder.

A device for use as a mixing apparatus comprising a container having a cross-section of at least 5 mm diameter, the cross-section being spanned by a wall having protrusions projecting into the cross-section, the protrusions preferably being distributed over the entire wall, the container being driven to reciprocate along a path curve obtainable by superimposing the movement along at least two axes lying at an angle to each other and preferably in the plane of the cross-section of the container at different frequencies.

A liquid stirring apparatus includes a storage unit configured to store a liquid, a support unit configured to rotatably support the storage unit by abutting against an outer peripheral wall of the storage unit, a driving unit configured to rotate the storage unit supported by the support unit. The storage unit comprises a storage member configured to store a liquid container and forms the outer peripheral wall.

A separator device for separating a target substance bonded to magnetic particles from a sample comprises: a magnetic block including a magnetic plate, a vertical movement device for controlling the vertical position of the magnet plate by vertically transferring the magnet plate, and a casing for accommodating the vertical movement device and the magnet plate; and a shaking block coupled to the lower portion of the magnetic block so as to transmit rotational force, and thus the magnetic block performs a horizontal orbital motion, wherein a loading portion in which a well plate is to be horizontally loaded is formed at the upper end of the magnetic block, and the magnetic block and the shaking block are vertically coupled to be an integrated single device.
