A magnetic mixing apparatus is disclosed. A magnetic mixing apparatus according to one embodiment of the present invention comprises: a shaft which passes through a driving motor unit and which is rotatably coupled to the driving motor unit; a first housing which is coupled to one side of the driving motor unit and which is provided outside a stirring container to accommodate an upper part of the shaft; a rotary rotor which is coupled to the end of the shaft at a stirring container side during normal operation and which has a first permanent magnet; and an impeller unit which is arranged inside the stirring container and which has a second permanent magnet magnetically coupled to the first permanent magnet during normal operation, wherein the first housing includes a magnetic separation rotary rotor support part formed to protrude inward so as to support, from the downward direction, the rotary rotor, which is down-driven so as to move downward from the shaft, when there is magnetic separation by which magnetic coupling is released through magnetic deformation of the first permanent magnet and/or the second permanent magnet.

Magnetic-based actuation mechanisms for and methods of actuating magnetically-responsive microposts in a reaction (or assay) chamber is disclosed. For example, a microfluidics system is provided that includes a microfluidics device (or cartridge) that includes the reaction (or assay) chamber in which a field of magnetically-responsive surface-attached microposts is installed. The presently disclosed magnetic-based actuation mechanisms are provided in close proximity to the magnetically-responsive microposts wherein the magnetic-based actuation mechanisms are used for actuating the magnetically-responsive microposts. For example, the magnetic-based actuation mechanisms generate an actuation force that is used to induce, for example, synchronized beat patterns and/or metachronal beat patterns in the magnetically-responsive microposts. Additionally, a method of using the presently disclosed magnetic-based actuation mechanisms for actuating the magnetically-responsive microposts is provided.

The present invention provides a cartridge, a detection method, and a detection device capable of stabilizing the liquid level of a sample accommodated in a chamber in a predetermined state. A cartridge 20, that is rotated around a rotating shaft 42 for detecting a target substance, is provided with a chamber 100 in which a sample containing a target substance is stored. The chamber 100 includes a first region 110 in which a sample is stored, a second region 120 disposed at a position closer to the rotating shaft 42 than the first region 110, and a protrusion 130 protruding from a position between the first region 110 and the second region 120 to the inner side of the chamber 100.

A gas-saturated liquid generator having a vessel of the generator, a hollow bell in its upside down position located with a tube for gas supply, and a mixer situated in the area for saturated liquid covered by the bell is disclosed. The entire bell is submerged below the surface of the saturated liquid. On a shaft projecting from a driving equipment, the mixer provided with a foaming spring is situated. The mixer provided with a magnetic carrier seated rotatably on the protrusion formed by a bulge in the bottom part of the generator vessel may be used. The preferred bell forms are dome-shaped, cylindrical or conical.

A portable preparation assembly to prepare liquid cosmetic/cleanser products in a personalised way has a container which is configured to contain a solvent liquid and includes a base wall, a lateral wall and an upper opening opposite to the base wall; a housing seat configured to house a solid cosmetic/cleanser and arranged at least partially inside the container; and a stirring device which is configured to stir the solvent liquid in the container so as to determine at least partial dissolution of the solid cosmetic/cleanser in the solvent liquid and mix the dissolved solid cosmetic/cleanser with the solvent liquid to obtain the liquid cosmetic/cleanser product.

The invention is related to a device for suspending particles in a fluid, wherein the mixing device includes a first magnet (1) rotating around a longitudinal axis (2), a mixing rod (4) attached to a mount (6), the mount including a second magnet (3), wherein the mount (6) moves in a substantially orthogonal motion to the longitudinal axis of the mixing rod (4) by the interaction of the rotating first magnet with the second magnet (3).

A mixer for a food product is described, including a vessel, an stator arranged in the vessel, and a rotor to rotate the food product relative the stator The stator is displaceable relative the rotor by a movement along a stator guide The stator guide includes an interior cavity being enclosed by a wall extending into the vessel, and a first magnetizable material arranged inside the cavity The stator includes a second magnetizable material, wherein a magnetic field between the first and second magnetizable materials generates a force that moves the stator along the stator guide for displacement of the stator relative the rotor.

The present invention pertains in general to an apparatus and method for the infusing, agitation and dispensation of oils in a controlled manner to produce a desired potency of an infusion while remaining below an identified maximum temperature threshold.
