International Classification:

B01F011/00

US Classification:

366333, 383127

Abstract:

A mixing system includes a flexible mixing bag having an interior surface bounding a compartment, the compartment being adapted to hold a liquid solution. A mixer is disposed within the compartment of the mixing bag. A shaft has a first end and an opposing second end. The first end of the shaft is connected to the mixer within the compartment of the mixing bag. The second end of the shaft is disposed outside of the compartment. A seal is formed between the mixing bag and the shaft or the mixer to enable the shaft to raise and lower the mixer within the compartment of the mixing bag while preventing leaking of the liquid solution.

Abstract:

A container assembly includes a container bounding a chamber and having a floor. A well is mounted on the floor of the container. The well bounds a compartment that extends below the floor of the container and communicates with the chamber of the container. An anchor has a side wall with a first port opening formed at a first end and a second port opening formed on the side wall or at a second end of the anchor. A fluid passageway extends between the first port opening and the second port opening. At least a portion of the anchor is secured within the compartment of the well such that at least a portion of the second port opening is disposed within the compartment. A dip tube is fluid coupled with the first port opening of the anchor.

US Classification:

7386381, 7386473, 374141

Abstract:

A sampling port includes an elongated flexible support tube having an interior surface bounding a first passageway extending between a first end and an opposing second end, the first passageway being closed at the first end of the support tube and open at the second end of the support tube. An elongated flexible sampling tube has an interior surface bounding a second passageway extending between a first end and an opposing second end, the second passageway being open at the first end of the sampling tube, at least a portion of the sampling tube adjacently extending along the length of the support tube and being connected to the support tube. A flange encircles and radially outwardly projecting from the support tube and the sampling tube at a location spaced apart from the first end of the support tube and the first end of the sampling tube.
