An apparatus and method for hydrating a particulate biomaterial with a liquid biomaterial includes a vacuum device and a valve for withdrawing a gas from the particulate biomaterial and introducing the liquid biomaterial. The valve includes a hub, a valve body, a particulate port, a vacuum port, and a liquid port. The valve body selectively moves between first and second positions. The valve body at least partially defines a first passage and a second passage. The particulate port, the vacuum port, and the liquid port are each configured to fluidly connect to a particulate container, the vacuum device, and the liquid container, respectively. In the first position, the first passage fluidly connects the vacuum port to the particulate port for withdrawing the gas from the particulate container. In the second position, the second passage fluidly connects the liquid port to the particulate port for hydrating the particulate biomaterial.

A shaker bottle is disclosed. The bottle includes a tumbler having a double walled structure, wherein the tumbler comprises a bottom wall internal surface, a side wall internal surface, a bottom wall external surface and a side wall external surface connected with the bottom wall internal surface and the side wall internal surface respectively through an air space arranged in between. The tumbler is configured to generate centrifugal force for shaking the predefined volume of liquid and the one or more consumable ingredients. The bottle includes a lid detachably coupled to the tumbler through one or more coupling mechanisms; an orifice to dispense a content from the internal chamber of the tumbler upon shaking; a closure to open or close the orifice through a sliding movement corresponding to the orifice. The bottle includes at least two rubber plugs removably inserted into respective holes to prevent liquid coolant from flowing out of corresponding air spaces between external and internal walls of the lid and the tumbler.

Systems for a plastic pump/actuator capable of containing and pumping organic solvents and lubricants and having a more desirable lubricity within the system. The system has at least two cylinders, with plungers therein, oppositely disposed from each other and configured to operably connect to a pump.
