RAM: Setting the bar for industry excellence

ResonantAcoustic® Mixing has transformed the pharmaceutical and biotechnology mixing landscape, setting a new standard of excellence. RAM enables the mixing of powders, liquids, slurries, or pastes at almost any scale, all without the risk of cross-contamination.

Extremely fast: Superior results in just 2-3 minutes, typically 10-100 times faster than traditional methods.

Exceptional uniformity: Relative standard deviations often far below the industry standard 4% acceptability threshold.

Superior quality: Ensures better mix performance with highly repeatable, consistent results.

Minimal cleanup: No blades, impellers or other internal hardware to clean up.

Why Resodyn?

Our industry-specific RAM products have revolutionized the pharmaceutical and biotechnology manufacturing process
RAM mixers provide exceptionally even mixing at breathtaking speed, which helps accelerate new product development, reducing time, complexity and cost.

Mixing for Any Application
Scale From Bench to Industrial with Confidence

Unmatched Performance

Our technology generates powerful, efficient mixing of complex blends of solids, liquids and gases. It is consistent regardless of scale and can be seamlessly applied to lab, bench, pilot and production applications.

RAM’s thorough, yet gentle, bladeless method ensures uniform, consistent API coating with or without solvents. Additionally, RAM does not damage APIs and eliminates contamination risks.

RAM excels at mixing:

  • Amorphous solid dispersion
  • Chembeads
  • Collagen solutions
  • Creams
  • Dry powder coating
  • High potency-low percentage API blends
  • Nano-milling
  • Small vial mixing
  • Well plate mixing
  • Pre-tablet powder blending

Other medical applications:

  • Bone graft pastes and bone cement
  • Dental composites

Scale From Bench to Industrial with Confidence

ResonantAcoustic® Mixing mixes virtually any combination of materials at scales ranging from bench development to industrial production.

Our single, powerful technology platform is trusted by the world’s top materials companies from international pharmaceutical and biotechnology manufacturers to global tech giants.

Whether you’re developing new materials in the laboratory or running full-scale industrial production, RAM systems are available in configurations to fit your application.

Mixing Mechanism
Diffusion Mixing
Convective Mixing
De-mixing
Beads Real Time Slow Loop
Uses up to 100 g to drive random particle motion to mix.
Uses vessel movement at 60 Hz (~3,600 cycles per minute) to impart high energy chaotic motion.
Random and chaotic motion of RAM prevents de-mixing.
V-Blender
Uses gravity (1g) as the restoring force to drive small scale random particle motion.
Uses rotational movement at ~30 rpm to split and combine material systematically.
The systematic motion of the v-blender can cause de-mixing.
Paddle or Ribbon Blender
Diffusion mixing is only a supplementary process for smaller particles and over longer mixing times.

Use an impeller of some type to move particles from one location to another within the powder bed.

Some mixers have increased impeller speeds which will impart shear mixing to break down agglomerates.

If there is a difference in particle sizes, larger particles tend to settle at the bottom.

Particles with different densities can separate over time.

Overloading can reduce mixing efficiency and increase the risk of de-mixing.

Helical Blender
Diffusion mixing may occur at the particle level, but its contribution is minimal to negligible.
Helical blades create a 3-dimensional mixing pattern, lifting and folding the material to create bulk movement.

Differences in particle sizes can lead to segregation.

Variations in material density can cause components to separate.

Overloading can reduce mixing efficiency and increase the risk of de-mixing.

Incorrect mixer speed can affect performance and contribute to de-mixing.

Case Study:

RAM goes beyond FDA guidelines

In a recent study, ResonantAcoustic® Mixing (RAM) was put to the test mixing a broad spectrum of APIs and excipients.

The results: RAM outperformed all conventional traditional pharmaceutical mixing technologies on the most important benchmarks.

  • Superior speeds: RAM achieved thorough mixing of all APIs and excipients in just 2-4 minutes, typically 10-100 times faster than traditional methods.
  • Beating benchmarks: All RAM mixes demonstrated RSD values well under the FDA’s required “readily mixed” threshold of 6% and also well below the 4% industry benchmark.

Testimonials

Client Testimonial

“Mixing viscous (~10,000cp) solids-loaded creams used to require multiple material addition steps and up to eight hours with an overhead stirrer to achieve desired uniformity. With a Resodyn Mixer, we performed the mix in a little more than two minutes.”

U.S. Biopharmaceuticals Company

“The LabRAM II units have changed our processes in a positive manner. Every process involved with these units has become more streamlined and yields better and more consistent results.”

Global Pharmaceutical Company

“We use these LabRAMs day in and day out, 18-20 hours a day. We run the heck out of them. We’re mixing several different powders in different quantities and no liquids. These LabRAM mixers do the trick.”
