Overview
LevMixer™ single-use biocontainer bags include a bottom-mounted, single-use impeller that levitates during operation. The impeller is coupled with a mobile superconductive drive unit, which allows it to rotate while levitating. The biocontainer bags are made from Allegro™ bioprocess film, which is animal-derived component free (ADCF). The bags come in a variety of sizes designed to be fitted into either stainless steel or plastic mixing tanks (30 to 1600 L).
Key features

Configurations for LevMixer™ tanks 30 to 1600 L
Standard biocontainer (options available for either cubical or round mixing tanks).
Designed for most standard mixing operations, this configuration offers two top inlets, a4-in. powder port, a bottom drain, and a sampling valve. The connector types used inthis configuration are MPX and MPC.
Filtered product biocontainer (cubical tanks only)
The filtered product biocontainer is designed for closed processing and has no powderport. It has two main inlets and one smaller inlet on the top face, a bottom drain, and asampling valve. The inlet connector types used in this configuration are Kleenpak™ Presto sterile connectors. The outlet connector type is the choice of either a Kleenpak™ Presto sterile connector or a sanitary flange.
General-use biocontainer (cubical tanks only)
Designed for open processing with universal sanitary flange connections. This biocontainer design has two main inlets and two smaller inlets on the top face, a 4-in. powder port, a sampling port, two sensor ports, and a bottom drain. The design is made to be as universal as possible, and it is well suited for applications such as sensing, pH adjustment, buffer prep, and media prep.
General-use biocontainer with thermowell (cubical tanks only)
Designed to offer the same advantages as the general-use biocontainer with a thermowell on the front port. This allows for pH, conductivity, and temperature sensing for applications that require close progress parameter monitoring.
Configurations for LevMixer™ 10 L single-use mixing system
LevMixer™ 10 L single-use mixing biocontainers are available in multiple configurations to support open or closed processing:
Standard biocontainer
The standard MPC connector design is the most basic with one bottom inlet and one outlet line, both with MPC connectors. The MPC design also contains a sampling line. There is no powder port, no single-use pH sensor, and no inflation line on this design.
General-use biocontainer
General-use biocontainer designs are well suited for open processing and include vendor-agnostic Tri-Clamp sanitary flange connections. General-use designs have one bottom inlet, two top inlets, a powder port, an outlet port with sampling, and a thermowell for temperature sensing. Optional features include a pre-installed, single-use pH sensor and inflation line. The design is made to be as universal as possible, and it is well suited for pH adjustment, buffer prep, media prep, and other applications.
Aseptic processing biocontainer
The aseptic processing designs are intended for closed processing (e.g., no open powder port). These biocontainers have one bottom inlet, two top inlets, and an outlet line, all with intrinsic sterile connectors for closed processing. The design also includes a thermowell for temperature sensing and a sampling line. Optional features include a pre-installed, single-use pH sensor and inflation line.
Flexibility designed in
LevMixer™ single-use biocontainer bags (30 to 1600L) are part of a modular mixing system family that also includes magnetic mixer systems. They use the same tanks and interchangeable drive units to enable maximal flexibility. By swapping out drive units and using the corresponding biocontainer bag, you will have a single-use mixing system that can take you from buffer or media preparation all the way through to final filling process steps.
