A low-cost drug compounding system that can practically fit inside of a fume hood or the like is provided. The system can use a single pump operable in forward and reverse directions (or multiple pumps) to compound complex mixtures particularly including those requiring the creation of solutions from dry or powdered ingredients. A wireless link allows operation of the system remotely. In one embodiment, the system uses a disposable mixing tube set that can be discarded after mixing while still attached to the base ingredient containers used for the compounding thereby minimize the chance of personnel exposure.

The present invention relates to a container-insertable agitation device comprised of a tether having a first end coupled to a container and a second end coupled to an agitator device, wherein the agitator device is suspended within the interior of the container via the tether.

A portable, self-contained beverage apparatus includes a container assembly having a known storage capacity for storing a consumable liquid, and a dispensing assembly disposed within the container assembly that dispenses variable, non-zero quantities of additives into the consumable liquid. The dispensing assembly includes multiple apertures structured and arranged to retain vessels containing the additives to be dispensed into the consumable liquid. The beverage apparatus also includes a level sensor disposed within the container assembly that determines a consumable liquid level of the consumable liquid stored in the container assembly. In certain embodiments, one or more positive displacement pumping mechanisms are configured to pump additive liquid from additive containers into a beverage chamber.

Mixing capsules and methods are provide and comprise a first chamber to receive a composition A and a second chamber to receive a composition B, wherein the first chamber and the second chamber are arranged rotatably about the longitudinal axis of the mixing capsule, the first chamber comprising a first opening, the second chamber comprising a second opening, the first opening and the second opening being arranged perpendicularly to the longitudinal axis and plan-parallelly to each other and/or perpendicularly spaced, the first opening and the second opening being arranged incongruently to each other in a storage position, the first opening and the second opening being arranged congruently to each other in a handling position.

An additive delivery system may incorporate a cartridge system, including a container cap and a reservoir assembly that provides for storage of an additive. The container cap includes a mixing nozzle for mixing of the additive with a base fluid as the base fluid flows from the base fluid container through the cartridge. A one-way valve prevents backflow of base fluid and/or mixed base fluid/additive from an area downstream of the mixing nozzle such that the base fluid supply remains in a pure state.

A device for mixing or blending the contents of the device into a liquid or semi-liquid. The device includes a bottle body, a bottle lid connected to a top end of the bottle body, and a mixer located within the bottle body. The mixer may be powered by a motor or by a manual crank turned by a user.

An additive delivery system may incorporate a cartridge system, including a container cap and a reservoir assembly that provides for storage of an additive. The container cap includes a mixing nozzle for mixing of the additive with a base fluid as the base fluid flows from the base fluid container through the cartridge. A one-way valve prevents backflow of base fluid and/or mixed base fluid/additive from an area downstream of the mixing nozzle such that the base fluid supply remains in a pure state.

Disclosed is a device (10) for conditioning and applying a biphasic fluid cosmetic composition, comprising a receptacle (12) extending along a main axis and defining an internal volume (30) able to receive the cosmetic composition, the receptacle comprising a neck (26) giving access to the internal volume; and a mixing member (42), received in the internal volume of the receptacle, wherein the mixing member includes a plurality of extended filaments (60), a first end (62) of each one of the filaments is connected to the neck of the receptacle, with the filaments being separated from each other by a non-zero distance (66) over at least 50% of a height (34) of the internal volume from the neck; and the mixing member is fixed in rotation with respect to the receptacle.

Mixing containers and methods of use thereof. An exemplary container described herein comprises a first layer comprising two first internal bars, said two internal bars parallel or substantially parallel to one another, a second layer comprising two second internal bars, said two second internal bars parallel or substantially parallel to one another and perpendicular or substantially perpendicular to said two first internal bars, whereby said first layer is positioned above said second layer within said container.

A container for mixing includes a container body having a first end with an opening and a second end opposite the first end. The second end has a closed rounded shape. The container body further includes a container wall between the opening and the second end. The container wall has an interior surface with a single substantially continuous rounded wall face with a plurality of smooth indentations therein arranged in a helical configuration around the wall face between the opening and the second opposite end.
