Mixing cartridges, mixing stations, and related kits, systems, and methods

Abstract

Cartridges useful for mixing materials, such as fluidic materials are provided. A cartridge typically includes a body structure having surfaces that define a cavity with upper and lower portions. A rotatable member generally extends along a horizontal axis in the upper portion of the cavity. One or more protrusions typically extend outward from the rotatable member and into the lower portion of the cavity, and are configured to mix the material when the material is disposed in the cavity. Related mixing stations, systems, kits, and methods are also provided.

1 . A cartridge for mixing material, comprising:
 at least one body structure comprising one or more surfaces that define a cavity having upper and lower portions;   at least one rotatable member extending at least partially along an axis that is substantially horizontally disposed in the upper portion of the cavity, which rotatable member is configured to operably connect to a rotational mechanism; and   at least one protrusion extending outward from the rotatable member and into the lower portion of the cavity, which protrusion is configured to mix the material when the material is disposed in the cavity, the rotatable member is operably connected to the rotational mechanism, and the rotational mechanism at least partially rotates the rotatable member about the axis.
