A rotation mixer including a housing, a drive unit coupled to the housing, a carriage mounted on the drive unit for rotation relative to the housing, and a basket mounted for rotation relative to the carriage. The basket receives material to be mixed. The carriage includes an arm and a drive line coupled to the arm. The arm is mounted on the drive unit for rotation about a first axis relative to the housing, and the drive line converts rotation of the arm into rotation of the basket about a second axis relative to the arm during use of the rotation mixer. The drive line illustratively includes a belt and plurality of pulleys upon which the belt travels in a continuous loop, the belt engaging with a gear on the basket to cause rotation of the basket.

A powder mixing system and method improves productivity of a final product by reducing time required for completion of mixing. The powder mixing system includes a mixing vessel provided with a rotating shaft for mixing multiple kinds of powder, a rotating machine for rotating the mixing vessel by means of the rotating shaft, an image photographing device for acquiring an image of the powder in a mixing process, and a computer. The mixing vessel includes a window through which the image of the powder is photographed. The computer has a function of detecting that the mixing vessel is located at a predetermined position. The image photographing device acquires the image of the powder through the window of the mixing vessel located at the predetermined position. The computer estimates a mixing state of the powder based on the acquired image of the powder.

A stirring apparatus for foods includes an endless conveyer, a plurality of cups, and a rotation mechanism. The endless conveyer has a conveying surface circulating in an endless manner and is arranged to be inclined. The cups are attached to the endless conveyer to be perpendicular to the conveying surface. The rotation mechanism rotates the cups. The rotation mechanism includes a rotation shaft, a driven magnet, a driving magnet, and a rotation driving device. One end of the rotation shaft is fixed to a bottom plate of the cup. The driven magnet is provided at the other end of the rotation shaft. The driving magnet faces the driven magnet at a predetermined interval. The rotation driving device rotates the driving magnet.

An apparatus, method, and sample vessel for recombining a sample fluid. The sample fluid is received in a sample vessel. Sample parameters are recreated in the sample vessel. The sample fluid is agitated within the sample vessel. Optical measurements of the sample fluid are performed within the sample vessel utilizing one or more optical sensors. A determination is made whether recombination is complete in response to the optical measurements of the sample fluid performed by the one or more optical sensors.

A cell bag rotator is constructed to slowly agitate a plurality of cell bags by rotation along a rotation axis that is at least partially horizontal. The cell bag rotator comprises a plurality of plates to which a respective cell bag is attached. The cell bag rotator is suitable for mixing cells with particles for performing various types of subsequent cell therapy processes on the cells.
