Mixing apparatus

A mixing apparatus for a syringe, the mixing apparatus comprising:

• a dock configured to receive the syringe and having an agitation component actuator integral to the dock configured for magnetically coupling to an agitation component of a magnetic material located within a chamber of said syringe, and configured for manipulation of said agitation component within said chamber when coupled;
• such that the actuator is coupled to said agitation component when said syringe is received by the dock;
• wherein the actuator is in the form of a drum having a series of magnets attached thereto offset in relation to one another so as to manipulate said actuation component in a reciprocating motion upon rotation of the drum
• wherein said chamber defines a longitudinal axis, and the actuator is configured to rotate an agitation component about said longitudinal axis;
• and
• wherein the series of magnets are configured such that opposing poles are proximal one another to induce spinning of the agitation component.
