IMPORTANT NOTES
BPC Move can be applied to mix a diverse range of contents in bottles with different volumes,
the only difference between them is the size of the stirrer, while all other components remain
the same.
When inserting the motor together with the metallic rod into the stirrer tube, make sure that
the lid is properly sealed to ensure that the equipment does not risk being damaged.
How to connect the stirrer to the motor?
First, make sure that the agitation system is off before connecting or disconnecting the stirrer.
Failing to do so might damage the equipment.
Note: It is very important that the motor axis and the stirrer axis meet in the middle of the
axis coupling (WITHOUT TOUCHING). If the stirrer axis puts downward tension on the stirrer
tubing, it might, over time, drill a hole through the bottom of the stirrer and compromise the
air seal of the setup. Approximately 5 – 7 mm between the two metal shafts within the axis
coupling is ideal (see figure above).

CHAPTER 01: OVERVIEW
BPC Move is a standalone agitation system designed for chemical, biological and
biotechnological applications. The intended use is mainly in laboratory environments to
provide well mixed contents through strong and reliable agitation of different types of
substrates.
This instrument offers a superior performance and agitation control compared to magnetic
stir bar. It can be applied for various mixing procedures, without any other instrument for
short-term operations, such as dissolving a solid in a liquid, or as part of our main systems
(AMPTS, Gas Endeavour, and Bioreactor Simulator) for the agitation of long-term biological
processes (several months).
BPC Move is simple to use, compared to our standard/smart agitation system, since it only
needs a power supply to function (no need for external motor controller, motor controller
signal cable, and brushless DC motor cables). The different functionalities of the instrument
are controlled with a rotating button and a display at the top of the motor. It has a
straightforward and user-friendly interface that makes it easy to set up the optimal condition
for a specific application.
BPC Move offers everything you need to have an excellent and unique agitation control. This
component allows the user to set different operation modes (simple, continuous, alternating
and intermittent), speed control on a range up to 600 rpm (3 times more speed compared to
our previous agitation system), different agitation movement (clockwise [CW],
counterclockwise [CCW] and interchanging), and on and off time.
In order to function, BPC Move (A) needs to be connected to a stirrer (B) and a vessel (C) that
contains the medium that will be mixed:
A. BPC Move
B. Stirrer and axis coupling
C. Vessel
