Pall

®

  rotational  wand  mixing  technology  provides  non-invasive  mixing  inside  sterile 

plastic bags. It is based on rotating of the curved rod pre-introduced in the sleeve of the 
mixing  bag.  The  rod  is  separated  from  the  processed  sterile  fluid  by  sleeve  which  is 
hermetically sealed on one end. Rotation of rod induces rotational motion of the sleeve 
due  to  flexural  shape  changes.  Flexural  rotational  motion  of  the  sleeve  results  in 
efficient mixing inside the bag. 
 

 
 
 

 

Figure  1:   

Rotational  wand  is  pre-introduced  inside  the  sleeve  of  the  bag.  Once  rotation  of  the  wand  is 

activated by external drive, sleeve performs rotational motion based on its flexing. The mixing procedure 
is non-invasive leaving the processed fluid contained in sealed bag.
