  • Page 11: Mixing Blade

    SAMIX GmbH 3.2.1 Mixing blade Due to the even upward and downward movement of the SAMIX jar (see section ® „3.2.2 Jars“), a consistent mix of the substances is achieved with use of the mixing blade (SMB or DSP). NOTICE Do not use mixing blades which are bent or defective in any other way.
  • Page 12 SAMIX ES500 ® Before use, check whether • the mixing blade is the right length and size • the mixing blade is clean. If necessary, disinfect the mixing blade (for e.g. with 70% isopropyl alcohol). Disposable blade (DSP) NOTICE In the case of substances with strong colors, it is recommended to use the disposable blade.

  • Page 13: Jars

    SAMIX GmbH After the mixing process, the shaft of the DSP is disconnected from the mixing blade of the DSP by turning in a clockwise direction (see Fig. 3).
