Abstract
Disclosed are magnetic agitation mixing systems for use with flexible container reaction vessels. In one aspect of the invention, the orientation of magnetic coupling between the impeller magnets and the external driver magnets is modified such that the coupling is neither strictly axial nor strictly radial. Also disclosed are 'receiver-less' retainer configurations whereby the single-use container need not have a rigid base that defines a cup or post to engage of rotatable agitator.
