Don Whitley Scientific has introduced an improved AES Chemunex Smasher blender for use in microbiology laboratories.
The Smasher comes with quick-release paddles that make it easier to clean and disinfect.
The blending chamber has a wide opening door and an integrated waste drawer for collection of spillages and rounded corners.
The leak-proof chamber's robust surfaces are resistant to chemical damage from cleaning agents.
Don Whitley claims the Smasher is about 20 times quieter than other blenders.
It can handle hard and bulky samples easily: the device just sets the correct paddle position for each sample bag, avoiding jams.
The digital keypad allows the selection of cycles from 10 - 180 seconds or a continuous-blending option.
The LCD screen allows constant monitoring of the blending duration and speed.
