Bench-top mill is suitable for homogenisation, mixing, cell disruption and particle size reduction of hard, medium-hard, brittle, fibrous and elastic materials with an initial particle size under 8mm
Christison says its versatile M3 Mixermill can simultaneously process two samples.
Designed and manufactured in Great Britain, this bench-top mill has a three-year warranty and is suitable for homogenisation, mixing, cell disruption and particle size reduction of a vast array of hard, medium-hard, brittle, fibrous and elastic materials with an initial particle size of less than 8mm.
The soft-touch control panel incorporates a digital timer and choice of oscillation intensity and three memory functions allow standard operating settings to be programmed in to guarantee maximum reproducibility.
The grinding jars vibrate horizontally causing the grinding balls to hit the sample from various angles.
The intensity of oscillations may be set from 3 to 30 per second while a speed control ensures the value chosen stays constant during the grinding process.
The grinding jars are securely held in the quick-release clamping devices.
Push-fit grinding jars are the economical choice when carrying out rapid, reproducible, loss-free particle size reduction of dry materials - such as for XRF analysis.
The screw top grinding jars ensure no loss when processing wet materials and, by pre-cooling temperature-sensitive materials plus the grinding jars and balls, it is possible to carry out very fast cryogenic grinding.
Grinding jars with screw top and push-fit lids are offered in agate and zirconia with steel outer jackets, as well as low chrome steel or stainless steel jars in a range of sizes up to 50ml.
Grinding balls in various materials and sizes are available for all jars.
By utilising an adapter rack with disposable reaction vials, it is possible to carry out high speed processing of animal tissues which may be frozen in liquid nitrogen.
Also suitable for cell disruption of plant and bacteria for RNA and DNA recovery.
Samples can be processed in as little as two to four minutes with no cross-contamination, because the closed system prevents tube to tube carryover.
