Handheld Homogenizer

Benchmark’s Handheld Homogenizer, the D1000, is designed to rapidly homogenize, emulsify, suspend and disrupt biological samples. Ideal for use with microtubes, the homogenizer works well with samples from 0.1 mL to 250 mL (depending upon the generator probe used). The D1000 is a rotor stator homogenizer, and works by drawing the sample, in liquid, into the generator probe with the variable speed rotor, and then forcing it out through the slots in the stator. This achieves mechanical shearing of the sample. As the sample is repeatedly drawn up and forced through the stator, additional shearing takes place.

Generator probes are available in four sizes. The 5mm and 7mm diameter probes have a 50mm length for use with samples in microtubes. The 10mm x 115mm probe is ideal for use with 15 and 50 mL tubes and the 14mm x 130 mm probe, for 50 mL tubes and vessels up to 250 mL. The unit is supplied with one each of the 5mm and 7mm generator probes. All the generator probes are made of stainless steel and can be sterilized by autoclaving.

Features:

• Homogenize most samples in under 30 seconds
• Supplied with both 5mm and 7mm generator probes
• 130W powerful motor
• Adjustable up to 6 speeds
