Abstract:
A system for facilitating the mixing of a fluid, the system comprising:at least one container containing a polymer array and a fluid; wherein the container defines a chamber, the chamber including a pair of closely spaced-apart faces that are separated by walls to define a narrow interior, wherein one of the faces defines a planar surface on which the polymer array is disposed; and a holding device comprising a body with a rotational axis, a pair of end members extending from the rotational axis, one or more walls extending between the end members parallel to the rotational axis, and at least one coupling member constructed and arranged to couple the container to at least one of the walls, such that when the container is coupled to the coupling member the polymer array is substantially perpendicular to the rotational axis and the container is spaced apart from the rotational axis, and at least one coupling element operably attached to the body in alignment with the rotational axis and adapted to couple the body to a rotation mechanism that rotates the body around the rotational axis.
