Embodiments of the present disclosure generally relate to systems and methods for mixing pharmaceutical compositions, agents and/or ingredients together. In one embodiment, a method can include a shell and a flexible pouch disposed within the shell. The flexible pouch can include at least one active pharmaceutical ingredient and at least one delivery agent. Further, the flexible pouch and the shell can be configured to receive a dispensing member for dispensing a predetermined amount of a pharmaceutical composition. Methods can also include subjecting the container to high intensity vibrations for a predetermined mixing time to produce the pharmaceutical composition.

A system for mixing content of a container comprises a container includes an interior mixing element, an exterior drive system and a mixing device comprising an exterior bearing for coupling the exterior drive system to the interior mixing element of the container. The exterior bearing provides a driven non-rotating, nutating motion that drives the interior mixing element of the container so that it performs a mixing motion inside the container.

A unit for grinding biological samples, comprising a grinding device including at least two tubes having different volumes, suitable for being mounted on a support of the grinding device, each tube comprising an inner space having a height (h) along the axis of the corresponding tube, and being intended to contain samples to be ground, means for driving the support in a precession movement, the support having an axis the position of which varies by describing a cone, each tube being subjected to a movement (d) defined by the projection, onto the axis of said cone, of the distance between the extreme positions of a same point of the tube during the precession movement.

A shaking and/or mixing device comprises: a drive (7a) having a drive shaft (7), an eccentric unit (4) driven by the drive shaft (7) and having an eccentric hub (14), and a holder (20) for receiving at least one sample to be treated by the shaking and/or mixing device (1). The eccentric hub (14) and the holder (20) are connectable to one another by means of a releasable connection in order to transmit a movement of the eccentric hub (14) onto the holder (20) and the releasable connection is provided as an extension of the drive shaft (7).

A nucleic acid separating apparatus includes: a stirring mechanism that stirs and resolving-processes a specimen and a reagent injected into a process tube; a pressurized gas supply mechanism that supplies a pressurized gas to a filter cartridge having a specimen liquid including nucleic acid, the specimen liquid being injected in the filter cartridge after the resolving-process, to separate and collect nucleic acid from the specimen liquid; a dispensing mechanism that injects the specimen, a reagent, or the specimen liquid after the resolving-process into the process tube and the filter cartridge; and a move mechanism that moves the pressurized gas supply mechanism and the dispensing mechanism, wherein the dispensing mechanism includes: a suction and discharge mechanism that is capable of attaching a dispensing chip to the suction and discharge mechanism and detaching the dispensing chip from the suction and discharge mechanism, the suction and discharge mechanism being capable of suctioning and discharging a liquid through the dispensing chip; and a liquid supply mechanism that discharges a liquid from a nozzle.

A laboratory device, in particular for shaking and/or mixing substances, comprises a base unit, that comprises a drive apparatus, and a pivot unit, that is pivotably connected to the base unit by means of a bearing element about axes oriented perpendicular to a central axis of the base unit. The drive apparatus comprises an arrangement of magnetic elements at an inner side of a roll-off surface of the base unit and a control apparatus that is configured to control the arrangement of magnetic elements for generating a peripheral magnetic field along a closed path at an outer side of the roll-off surface to drive the roll-off section of the pivot unit by means of magnetic attraction and/or repulsion to make a rolling-off along said path.

A shaking system of cell culture includes a shaking unit, a side visual unit, a top visual unit and a control unit. The side visual unit is located at one side of the shaking unit. The top visual unit is located above the shaking unit. The control unit is coupled signally with the shaking unit, the side visual and the top visual unit. In addition, a shaking method of cell culture is provided as well.
