MIXR
Mix Smarter with Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD)
MIXR
Intro
CFD-Optimized Magnetic Stir Bars -
Impeller-like mixing without overhead mixer
-
Conventional rod-shaped stir bars work for low-viscosity liquids but inefficient with complex fluids.
-
We combine user feedback, CFD simulations, and real-world testing to create optimized stir bar designs for a wide range of viscosities and mixing needs.
-
First application of CFD optimization, commonly used in in industrial mixing, to magnetic mixing.

Material
PEN Labware:
An Eco-Friendly Alternative to PTFE
-
Recyclable & PFAS-free
-
Exceptional chemical resistant
-
Steam, gamma and EtO sterilizable
-
Low carbon footprint and wastes
PTFE is inert but tied to PFAS, harmful pollutants found in 97% of Americans' blood and linked to severe health and environmental risks. To tackle this, we've developed labware with PEN, an eco-friendly alternative offering greater chemical resistance than TPX and PC, but less than PTFE and PEEK, making it versatile for many applications.
PEN has a lower carbon footprint thatn PTFE and PEEK, is recyclable with PET, and our manufacturing process produces zero wastewater or industrial waste, providing a greener solution.

Example
Usage Example
Non-vortex Mixing at High Speeds
Non-vortex mixing increases mixing efficiency in fluids by promoting turbulence without forming a central vortex, ensuring uniform dispersion and effective blending.
Baffled vs. Standard Beakers
Baffles have improved mixing efficiency since the 2000s through CFD optimization. However, replicating them in glassware is challenging. We've reimagined this technology with ergonomic designs and 3D printing, achieving superior performance with a smaller carbon footprint.
