CLOSED SYSTEM FOR SINGLE USE IN THE MIXING, STORAGE AND HOMOGENIZATION OF LIQUIDS UNDER OWN OR STERILE CONDITIONS

摘要

A rigid tank (1), containing a generally-rectangular, disposable pocket (2), is new. Its (2) upper and lower surfaces are permanently connected by a mixing line (3) passing through a dedicated, non-intrusive pump (4) (an external peristaltic pump is shown). This circulates liquid from low in the pocket, to its top. The pump can be opened and closed, allowing the mixing line to be inserted into it, or removed from it. An independent claim is included for the corresponding method of mixing.
