Laboratory homogenizer for pharmaceutical and biotech applications

Achieve precise homogenization for your laboratory needs with this high-pressure solution, ideal for testing formulations and scaling up efficiently from research to production phases.

Homogenizes and Pumps Liquid and Slurry Products

The QUARK from Bertoli is a compact tabletop laboratory homogenizer, engineered for precise homogenization and dispersion tasks in sectors like dairy, food and beverage, chemical, and biotech. It features a single plunger design capable of handling liquid and slurry products with abrasive or viscous properties. Operating at a pressure of up to 2,000 bar with a capacity of 3 liters per hour, it achieves consistent particle size reduction crucial for products such as milk, emulsions, and liposome formulations. The QUARK integrates seamlessly into research and development environments, offering a minimum sample volume of just 10 ml, making it ideal for scaling up from test samples to larger production batches. The option for ATEX configuration enhances its versatility for use with volatile substances. Built with stainless steel components, it ensures durability and ease of cleaning, complying with industrial safety standards. Whether it’s creating uniform cosmetic creams or dispersing chemical suspensions, the QUARK provides reliable and efficient performance in demanding lab settings.
