The BioHomogenizer is a rotor-stator type tissue homogenizer designed to rapidly homogenize, disperse, and emulsify biological samples in aqueous media from 1 to 1000 ml. The BioHomogenizer includes both the motor and probe.
The powerful 10,000 rpm motor is totally sealed and can be hand-held or stand mounted. During operation, the suspended material is repeatedly cycled through 12 narrow slits in the stator by the action of a high speed rotor. The material is rapidly sheared and disintegrated by the high frequency mechanical action. Complete homogenization of soft tissue (muscle, liver, brain, etc.) is usually achieved in one minute or less. Samples may be processed in a test tube chilled during treatment by immersion in an ice bath. Other applications include dispersion and emulsification of dairy and cosmetic products.
Features
- Versatile: Stainless-steel rotor-stator achieves any combination of mixing, emulsification, shredding, or chopping
- Practical: The sample is usually contained in a test tube or beaker and can be kept cold by immersion in ice
- Handy and mobile. Easy to hold and feather-light
- Simple to use. No sample loss due to transfers from a blender vessel. Just hold it in a vessel and turn on the two-speed switch
- Easy to clean. Rinse it under a tap or in a washing up container
- Quality designed. Powerful two speed 7,000/10,000 rpm motor. Totally sealed and double insulated for safety
