  • Publication number: 20220290088
    Abstract: A preparation system for preparing a cell suspension having a carrier on which a reactor housing and a magnet system are accommodated, wherein, in the reactor housing, a reaction channel is formed, which extends between an inlet opening arranged centrally on an upper side of the reactor housing and an outlet opening arranged on the outside of the reactor housing and which is bounded by a channel wall, the magnet system being received on the carrier so as to be relatively movable between a first functional position, to bear with a pole face against the channel wall of the reaction channel and a second functional position to assume with the pole face a predetermined distance relative to the channel wall, and having a reactor housing drive for initiating a rotational movement on the reactor housing.

  • Publication number: 20220260107
    Abstract: A method for producing a connection unit (1) which has a connector with a connector shaft (6) and a disc (3) which is captively arranged on the connector shaft (6). The disc (3) has an annular disc body (23), the inner contour (33) and outer contour (34) of which have been produced by a plastic deformation of the disc body (23). The inner contour (33) is shaped such that the disc body (23) is fixed on the connector shaft (6). At the same time, the originally non-circular outer contour (34) is shaped so as to be at least substantially circular. The deformation process is carried out by introducing radial deformation forces into the outer circumferential surface (27) of the disc body (23).

  • Patent number: 8833386
    Abstract: A coaxial valve (10) has a valve housing (11) with an inlet port (12) and an outlet port (14) for a medium (15) flowing through the coaxial valve. A control tube is movable in its longitudinal direction in the valve housing (11) and interacts with the inlet port (12) and the outlet port (14) such that with the valve (10) opened medium (15) flows through the control tube. A valve seat within said valve housing has a valve seat face, the control tube interacting with the valve seat face in one of its axial end positions for closing the coaxial valve (10). The valve seat face is formed on a replaceable sealing element (22) which is arranged in an opening (19) of the valve housing (11), said opening (19), running essentially transversely with respect to the longitudinal direction.
