Laboratory mixer mill for small volume grinding
In research applications, precise and efficient grinding of small volumes of various materials is essential. Challenges may include achieving homogeneous mixtures, managing dry or wet conditions, and maintaining low temperatures during the process.
Homogenizes powders and suspensions within seconds
The Mixer Mill MM 400 from Retsch is designed for dry, wet, and cryogenic grinding of small volumes up to 2 x 20 ml. Operating at 30 Hz, it mixes and homogenizes powders and suspensions quickly and efficiently. The benchtop unit is suitable for classical grinding processes as well as for biological cell disruption for DNA/RNA and protein extraction. It allows processing times up to 99 hours, making it ideal for various research applications, including mechanochemistry. The MM 400 includes features like two grinding stations, an array of accessories for different vial sizes, and calibrated speed and time for reproducible results. The compact size and versatility with various grinding jar materials and modes (dry, wet, cryogenic) make it a valuable tool in laboratories. Key applications include sample preparation for pesticide extraction and cell disruption.
