MBI D160 Homogenizer - 8000 to 30 000 RPM
MBI D160 Homogenizer
Catalog: MBI749091908888 | Handheld Rotor-Stator Homogenizer
The MBI D160 Homogenizer rapidly homogenizes, disperses, and emulsifies samples from 0.1-250ml of solids or liquid media depending on the generating probe. During operation, the suspended material is drawn into the core of the homogenizer by a rotor turning at up to 30,000 RPM.
The material is repeatedly cycled through narrow slits in the probe where it is rapidly sheared and disintegrated by high shear forces. Complete homogenization of tissues such as muscle, liver, and breast tissue is usually achieved in a few seconds. Little, if any, heat is produced during the process, making the D160 ideal for temperature-sensitive samples.
Designed for one-handed operation, the D160 is lightweight and easy to hold, providing a practical answer for small sample volumes in research, clinical, and quality control laboratories. The 316L stainless steel generators with PTFE bushings are autoclavable and inert to aggressive solutions, ensuring long service life and easy cleanup.
