ALab™ D-500 High-Shear Homogenizer
Product Detail
The ALab™ D-500 High-Shear Homogenizer runs at 10000–30000 rpm in 6 speed levels with a 500 W motor. The motor drives the rotor at high speed, and the sample is homogenized or dispersed in the gap between the rotor and the stator, usually in a short period of time.
The D-500 is used for tasks from sample preparation to formulation study, for samples with viscosities up to 10000 mPa·s. Replaceable rotors and stators share the same shaft, and the rotor can be dismounted, cleaned and sterilized.
All dispersion head components can be sterilized using the usual methods, including chemicals and autoclaving. Automatic overload protection protects the motor, and the smooth motor start gives stable acceleration without spillage. Select the dispersing head from the Dispersing heads table.
