  • Patent number: 6793387
    Abstract: An apparatus and associated method of preparing a mixture using a computerized apparatus having a plurality of vessels, each of which is arranged on a support structure and oriented for dispensing a fluent substance through at least one exit port and a first flow channel. Each first flow channel is in further communication with a dedicated measurement assembly, for dosing fluent substance so dispensed, and a second flow channel. The apparatus also includes a receptacle support; and can further incorporate a user interface for receiving a first input concerning the mixture plus a storage device to hold instructions for locating a respective one of the second flow channels and the receptacle support in operative relation. The apparatus can further comprise titration and mixing modules; and an alternative apparatus and method can utilize a support structure having a framework moveably coupled to a sustaining member, whereby many flexible-walled vessels can be accommodated.

  • Publication number: 20040107150
    Abstract: An apparatus having a flexible-walled vessel compatible with a fluent substance for transporting the fluent substance and dispensing during production, research, testing, and other related processes. The vessel, as oriented by a support framework, has an upper-end and a lower-portion with at least one port through which the fluent substance is dispensed, and an outwardly-facing indicia. This port is in communication with a primary flow channel and a valve for controlling the dispensing of a preselected amount of the substance as needed during the process. The fluent substance may be any such as liquid reagents, cleaning solutions, solvents, and/or other fluent substances used in the production/test process. A second flow channel, in communication with a second port of the vessel's lower-end, may be added for filling the vessel at the filling-site. Also characterized: method of transporting a fluent substance for dispensing during a production/test process that uses a flexible-walled vessel.

  • Patent number: 6729369
    Abstract: An apparatus (having a flexible-walled vessel compatible with a fluent substance not for direct consumption by mammals) for transporting the fluent substance and dispensing during research, testing, and other related processes. The process is separate from a filling-site where the vessel is filled. The vessel, as oriented by a support framework, has an upper-end and a lower-portion with at least one port through which the fluent substance is dispensed, and an outwardly-facing indicia. This port is in communication with a primary flow channel and a valve for controlling the dispensing of a preselected amount of the substance as needed during the process. The fluent substance is selected from the group consisting of liquid reagents, cleaning solutions, solvents, and/or other fluent substances used in the production process. A second flow channel, in communication with a second port of the vessel's lower-end, may be added for filling the vessel at the filling-site.
