Abstract: A mixing device having a stirring element can include: a container for receiving fluids and/or solids; and at least one rotatable stirring element for mixing the fluids and/or solids; wherein the stirring element comprises a first bearing element and a second bearing element which are arranged at or near opposite ends of the stirring element; wherein the first bearing element is mounted on a first face of the container and the second bearing element is mounted on an opposite second face of the container; wherein the first bearing element comprises at least one non-permanently magnetized element such that it can be moved in rotation by externally induced reluctance forces, and wherein the second bearing element is mounted in a contactless manner by externally induced magnetic forces.

Abstract: A method for mounting at least one component on an installation includes attaching a carrier directly or indirectly to the installation, where the installation has at least one frame with at least two arms, at least one base plate, and at least one deformable element. The method further includes displacing the component toward the deformable element such that the deformable element is displaced from a receiving state (AUZ), in which the deformable element is ready to receive the component of the installation, toward a locked state (ARZ), as a result of which the deformable element surrounds and mounts the component of the installation at least in part.

Abstract: The invention relates to an installation for biotechnological applications (1, 101), comprising an improved holder system (4) with at least one carrier (10) for the mounting of components (5) of the installation (1, 101) on the installation (1, 101). The carrier (10), which comprises a frame (12) with two arms (14) and with a recess (16) and includes a deformable element (30) with at least two fastening sections (32), which may be understood to have a flat base (20) by which the carrier (10) can be fastened to the installation (1, 101). The deformable element (30) is designed to assume the following states: a receiving state AUZ, in which the deformable element (30) is available for receiving a component (5) of the installation (1, 101); and a locking state ARZ.
