MagLev Mixer
PharmNXT Biotech has developed a revolutionary mixer system that has no bearings to wear out or seals to break. Based on the principles of magnetic levitation, the mixer impeller is suspended, contact-free, inside a sealed cup and is driven by the magnetic field of the motor (Fig 1). The mixer impeller is fabricated from biocompatible (FDA, USP-VI, BSE/TSE and Animal free) gamma sterilizable polypropylene (PP).
With the lack of mechanical bearings, plus the self-contained mixer design, the risk of particle shedding is drastically reduced. The impeller and tank casing is designed creatively to increase mixing efficiency and reduce shear to allow gentle mixing for shear-sensitive products. The design is so robust that it allows us to manufacture higher-capacity systems with linear scalability. Ideal for regular bioprocessing and final formulation.
