Tips for Homogenizing Volatile Samples
What is a volatile sample? Before we provide tips for homogenizing volatile samples it’s good to understand what these are. Three key terms apply: Volatility denotes rapid evaporation, that is evaporating rapidly in the form of a vapor. Flash point is the temperature at which particular organic compounds give off sufficient vapor to ignite in…

Laboratory and pilot plant homogenizer rotor-stator generators and companion flow through chambers are typically manufactured of nickel stainless steel such as AISI Type 304 and 316. These are excellent alloys for general corrosion resistance and cleanability. With proper care they can provide years of trouble-free service. The same applies for rotor-stator shaft bearings and seals…

Avoiding sample damage by heat or mechanical action can be of concern to laboratory scientists researching solutions to disease prevention or developing new or improved medical treatments. Tissue homogenization, cell disruption, and emulsifying are but three of many applications where laboratory homogenizers may be called into play. Accessories such as a flow-through chamber also may…
Read MoreUsing a Flow-Through Chamber for Sports Drink Processing
Coupling a laboratory homogenizer drive motor to a flow-through chamber attachment is an excellent way to mix ingredients such as food supplements and energy drinks. Today’s flow through chambers can process high volumes and serve either as a pilot plant for food processing or for production line homogenizing and blending. The popularity of energy drinks…
Read MoreTurning a Lab Homogenizer into a Flow-Through Chamber
Laboratory homogenizers represent a significant investment for research organizations engaged in developing new processing procedures across a broad range of industries. Integrating or adding a flow through chamber to the homogenizer mixer greatly increases its functionality by enabling inline processing or extending the exposure of samples to the homogenization action. Here’s What Flow-Through Chambers Do…
