MIXING APPARATUS

摘要

A mixing apparatus (130) for a syringe (110), the mixing apparatus comprising a dock (134) configured to receive the syringe and having an agitation component actuator (132) integral to the dock configured for magnetically coupling to an agitation component (136) of a magnetic material located within a chamber of said syringe, and configured for manipulation of said agitation component within said chamber when coupled; wherein the actuator is in the form of a drum having a series of magnets attached thereto offset in relation to one another so as to manipulate said actuation component in a reciprocating motion upon rotation of the drum.

1. A mixing apparatus for a syringe, the mixing apparatus comprising:
a dock configured to receive the syringe and having an agitation component actuator integral to the dock configured for magnetically coupling to an agitation component of a magnetic material located within a chamber of said syringe, and configured for manipulation of said agitation component within said chamber when coupled; such that the actuator is coupled to said agitation component when said syringe is received by the dock; wherein the actuator is in the form of a drum having a series of magnets attached thereto offset in relation to one another so as to manipulate said actuation component in a reciprocating motion upon rotation of the drum wherein said chamber defines a longitudinal axis, and the actuator is configured to rotate an agitation component about said longitudinal axis; and wherein the series of magnets are configured such that opposing poles are proximal one another to induce spinning of the agitation component.
