ALab™ D-160 Handheld Homogenizer
Product Detail
The ALab™ D-160 Handheld Homogenizer is a portable, lightweight homogenizer (0.54 kg) with variable speed from 8000 to 32000 rpm in 10 stages. With the DS-160/5, DS-160/7 or DS-160/10 dispersing shaft it processes 0.1–50 mL, 1–150 mL or 1–250 mL.
The D-160 is designed to homogenize, emulsify, suspend and disrupt biological samples such as animal tissue, bacteria, yeast and plant samples in liquids, from 0.1 mL to 250 mL depending on the shaft chosen.
The ergonomic design suits manual operation. The dispersing shafts are fully autoclavable and interchangeable for easy dismantling and cleaning. Select the dispersing shaft for your working volume from the Dispersing shafts table.
