Abstract
The invention provides a device for mixing a liquid medium, an apparatus for mixing a liquid medium, a system comprising a device and an apparatus and a method for mixing a liquid medium. The device comprises a flexible membrane (12) and a structural part (16), which device further comprises an actuation part (14) located on a first side of the membrane, which device further comprises a mixing chamber (20) located on a second side of the membrane, wherein at least a partial inclination of the membrane results from an inclination of the actuation part relative to the structural part.
Claims20
A device for mixing a liquid medium, the device comprising:
- a flexible membrane connected to a structural part;
- an actuation part located on a first side of the membrane;
- a foil connected to the structural part and located on a second side of the membrane;
- and
- a mixing chamber located between the membrane and the foil, wherein at least a partial inclination of the membrane results from an inclination of the actuation part relative to the structural part.
A device for mixing a medium comprising at least one fluid, the device comprising:
- a membrane connected to a structural part;
- an actuation part located on a first side of the membrane and configured to incline relative to the structural part, imparting an at least partial inclination of the membrane;
- and
- a flexible foil connected to at least one of the membrane and the structural part, the membrane and the flexible foil forming a mixing chamber between a second side of the membrane and the flexible foil for containing the medium,
- wherein the at least partial inclination of the membrane moves the medium in the mixing chamber.
A system for mixing a liquid medium, the system comprising:
- a flexible membrane connected to a structural part;
- an actuation part located on a first side of the membrane;
- a foil connected to the structural part and located on a second side of the membrane;
- a mixing chamber located between the membrane and the foil, wherein at least a partial inclination of the membrane results from an inclination of the actuation part relative to the structural part;
- and
- actuation means configured to impose an inclination movement on the actuation part.
