The HELIX Oscillating Biomixer® is the ideal blending and storage solution for all areas of Life Sciences.
Our patented HELIX Oscillating Biomixer® is a highly versatile mixer with multiple uses. We designed it as a pilot and small batch, self-mixing, closed system mixer that eliminates problems associated with traditional vessels. When used with our programmable Turn-Table, any mixing profile can be applied depending on the raw material characteristics.
Low-shear, sensitive cellular work is possible with one program and difficult powder can be accomplished with another, all with the same equipment. The lightweight and leak-proof HELIX is constructed of Class VI polypropylene and can be sterilized in an autoclave and there is no need to open the vessel after components are charged thus minimizing contamination risk.
Technical Specifications:
- Requires no inserted mixer, minimizing contamination risks when used with its Turn-Table
- Unique mixing platforms that can be fully programmed to deliver the desired amount of shear
- Closed system design to prevent microbial and non-viable contamination
- Manufactured with USP Class VI Polypropylene
- Fully recyclable but designed for years of work
- Cost Effective
- Produced in the USA under cGMPs in our ISO9001 facility
- Light Weight, Leak Proof and Shatter Proof
- Reference gradation markings for both gallons and liters molded in the plastic
- Screw threads compatible with other 3rd party cap systems
- Can be sterilized by Autoclave, ETO or chemical sanitization
Who Would Buy The HELIX?
- Process Scientists needing a faster, cleaner or more gentle mixing system
- Manufacturers needing an easier and more secure liquid storage vessel
- Cell Biologists need a cost effective bioreactor for supporting cell growth with superior and constant distribution of nutrients
- Supply Chain Professionals needing to diversify and simplify their cost controlled vessel programs
Ways to Use the The HELIX Oscillating Biomixer®
- As a Mixer (see video below) - The HELIX has dynamic radial fins molded into the bottle itself that move material upward when rotated in one direction and downward when oppositely rotated, thus the oscillation creates a unique mixing pattern. When used with our programmable Turn-Table, any mixing profile can be applied depending on the raw material characteristics. Low-shear, sensitive cellular work is possible with one program and difficult powder can be accomplished with another, all with the same equipment. Suggested uses are chemical / media blending, tissue cleaning or a cost-effective and versitile bioreactor.
- As a Horizontal Jar Mill - The HELIX was designed to be compact and rugged with good handling characteristics. When used with a roller mill, the radial fins provide another cascade angle that can reduce milling time with compatible media. Suggested uses are wet and dry powder particle size reduction and cell disruption.
- As a Carboy - The HELIX can be used to hold or transport solutions or cells at temperature ranges from 0°C to 121°C. As a carboy, it’s rugged, volume indicating, sterilizable and can maintain your product isolated from environmental contamination. When its time to use the solution, you can even put it back on the Turn-Table for a quick mix just before use. Suggested uses are staging before fill and chemical and cellular storage.
