MIDSCI Cryo Label Rolls

The D1000 is designed to rapidly homogenize, emulsify, suspend and disrupt biological samples. Ideal for use with microtubes, the homogenizer works well with samples from 0.1 mL to 250 mL (depending upon the generator probe used).

The D1000 is a rotor stator homogenizer, and works by drawing the sample, in liquid into the generator probe with the variable speed rotor, and then forcing it out through the slots in the stator. This achieves mechanical shearing of the sample. As the sample is repeatedly drawn up and forced through the stator, additional shearing takes place. Most samples are completely homogenized in 30 seconds or less. A powerful, 130 W motor drives the rotor at speeds from 8,500 to 30,000 rpm. Speed is adjustable in six steps to meet sample processing needs. A separate on/off switch allows the homogenizer to be left at the appropriate setting.

Generator probes are available in four sizes. The 5 mm and 7 mm diameter have a 50 mm length for use with samples in microtubes. The 10 mm x 115 mm is ideal for use with 15 and 50 mL tubes and 14 mm x 130 mm, for 50 mL tubes and vessels up to 250 mL. The unit is supplied with one each of the 5 mm and 7 mm generator probes. All the generator probes are made of stainless steel and can be sterilized by autoclaving.
