<p>A vessel (10) in which a fluid is received and agitated using an internal fluid-agitating element driven by an external motive device (24) is disclosed. In one aspect, the vessel is a bag including a first receiver (16) for receiving and holding a fluid-agitating element (18) at a home location. The first receiver may be in the form of an inwardly projecting post (20) having an oversized portion for capturing the fluid-agitating element. Use of this feature in completely rigid vessels where the fluid-agitating element is free of direct attachment from a first receiver having an oversized portion is also disclosed. In another aspect, the vessel or bag further includes a second receiver (26) for receiving a portion of an external structure, such as a motive device, and aligning the vessel relative thereto.</p> |
