Compressed Air Lab Homogenizers for Hazardous Areas
Certain laboratory environments can contain flammable vapors or gases that could be ignited by stray electrical sparks. Equipment used in such labs – such as explosion-proof refrigerators and freezers as well as explosion-proof electrical fixtures – require special design characteristics. The same applies electrically powered benchtop lab instruments such as lab homogenizers. The CAT Scientific…
Read MoreHow Lab Homogenizers Contribute to R&D
Some of us may remember grandma with the spoon and bowl or mom with the Mixmaster but for R&D scientists this mixing action is accomplished by using lab homogenizers. These compact but immeasurably useful benchtop instruments are used to develop scalable processes for processing ingredients – some of which may be initially incompatible – into…
Read MoreFortifying Cannabis Products via Terpene Aromatherapy
Maximizing Consumer Experience via Olfactory Stimulation Long considered “whack science,” aromatherapy has transitioned from the calming rooms of spa’s and into the homes (and offices) of those wishing to maximize its healing potential. While the notion of healing scents is nothing new, the integration into mainstream acceptance is still within its infancy. The concept is…
Read MoreStrengthening Cannabinoid Modulation With Terpenes
How Terpenoids Boost Cannabinoid Efficiency You’d be hard-pressed to walk into any dispensary without being bombarded by flashy product advertising proclaiming the power of terpenes. Such claims suggest the flavor and aroma of their product is “enhanced” while others suggest their use of additional terpenes boosts its therapeutic value. As with many elements of advertising,…
Read MoreHow to Maintain Lab Homogenizer Shaft Bearings
As with mechanical components in top-tier watches, finely tuned engines and similar precision equipment, lab homogenizer shaft bearings require careful attention and “TLC” if researchers rely on these mixing, blending and dispersing tools when developing new or improved processes across a broad spectrum of food, drug and industrial product manufacturing. Maintaining lab homogenizer shaft bearings…

How to Emulsify Small Samples With a Lab Homogenizer The old saying “oil and water don’t mix” does not hold true all the time. While it is true that oil and vinegar in the salad dressing cruet will separate on standing, homogenized milk holds the cream in suspension on the supermarket shelf and in your…
Read MoreHow Laboratory Homogenizers Support Medical Research
A visit to laboratories devoted to the development of new pharmaceuticals and pharmaceutical processing procedures gives an appreciation for the vast array of R&D equipment employed in new drug development. Among new drug development devices employed are sure to be found laboratory homogenizers Lab homogenizers are the versatile benchtop tools that perform a wide variety…
Read MoreHow to Operate a Laboratory Homogenizer
Operating a laboratory homogenizer may at first glance appear to be a relatively simple exercise. What could be simpler? Plug it in and start the mixing operation. But hold on for a moment. You have a relatively costly instrument in your hand that is designed to accomplish a variety of mixing, stirring, emulsifying and dispersing…
Read MoreHomogenizer Generator Specification Tips
These homogenizer generator specification tips are presented to help you make the right decision based on your particular requirements. Homogenizer generators, also called generator probes, come in the variety of sizes and configurations necessary to accomplish laboratory and pilot plant tasks such as cell disruption, emulsifying, dispersion, dissolving and mixing. As with any laboratory function…
Read MoreCannabis Formulations – Emulsifying VG and BHO for Tinctures
As cannabis use elevates in popularity, the demand for non-combustible products simultaneously grows. In the current industry, both medical and recreational sales are moving away from traditional herb and into the realm of edibles, vapor juices and tinctures. The latter of the three is popular among those who need precise and regular cannabis dosing. However,…
