Conventional syringes with integrated magnetic stirrers face limitations due to their reliance on internal drivers and power sources, which increase complexity and reduce usability. Additionally, they lack an efficient way to ensure thorough mixing of fluids, such as reagents or test samples, without introducing contamination or operational inefficiency.
Core Features
This invention introduces a syringe equipped with a magnetic stirrer driven by an external device, eliminating the need for internal power sources or moving parts within the plunger. Key features include:
- An internal magnetic stirrer located within the syringe cavity, capable of thorough fluid mixing.
- A protrusion mechanism to securely contain the stirrer within the cavity.
- An external driver (electromagnet or motor with magnets) that powers the magnetic stirrer without direct contact, enhancing operational efficiency.
- Compatibility with testing apparatus for precise reagent dispensing and fluid testing.
- Optional integration of optical sensors for real-time fluid turbidity or algae level measurement.
Benefits
The external driver design simplifies syringe construction, reducing costs and maintenance requirements. The magnetic stirrer ensures consistent and effective mixing of fluids, improving test accuracy and reliability. The syringe’s modular nature allows for easy integration into various testing setups. Additionally, the ability to measure fluid properties directly within the syringe enhances versatility and functionality, making it ideal for laboratory and medical applications.
This innovation provides a robust, user-friendly, and efficient solution for mixing fluids in testing and medical contexts, setting it apart from traditional syringe designs.
