Cannabis Infusions: Homogenizer vs. Overhead Stirrer
Products featuring cannabis infusions should be manufactured using laboratory-grade high shear homogenizers. While overhead stirrers are adequate for many simple laboratory mixing tasks, they are generally not capable of generating the necessary particle size reductions required to produce high-quality cannabis-infused products that consistently feature stated amounts of active ingredients. Uniform particle size reduction, and uniform…
Read MoreX1740 Homogenizer: How To Insert Shaft into Motor Coupling
Learn how to properly insert the generator shaft into the motor coupling to complete the X1740 Homogenizer from CAT Scientific. Although designed for flexibility and simplicity of use, it helps to review this simple process to avoid any snags.
Read MoreVideo – The Assembly and Disassembly of the DK 30
In these videos, our expert demonstrates the steps involved in properly assembling — and then disassembling — the DK30 Flow-Through-Chamber with the new G30 shaft. Watch for helpful tips, such as applying a thin layer of food-grade silicone grease to the unit’s two O-rings, so they seat snugly. View the proper sequence of…
Read MoreOur Homogenizer Tools are Interchangeable to Meet Changing Needs
The elegance of CAT Scientific’s laboratory homogenizers derives from their flexibility and supreme utility. No two particle size reduction tasks are exactly the same. Nor do all mixing tasks feature the same challenges. The liquid medium, for instance, often ranges from a simple aqueous solution to a thick, viscous medium, such as an oil or…
Read MoreHow to Disassemble, Clean, and Reassemble the G40 Rotor-Stator Shaft
In this video, we demonstrate the precise steps you’ll need to take after every use of your G40 rotor/stator shaft assembly. Cleaning immediately after every use is crucial to prevent potential cross contamination of subsequent samples or procedures. Given the exceptionally fine stator slots and rotor geometries, fine particles can become lodged in these precision devices.…
Read MoreThe Importance of Uniform Cannabinoid Distribution in CBD Products
The manufacture and sale of products featuring cannabidiol (CBD) has exploded in recent years. The wildly popular non-psychoactive compound, derived from hemp, is highly popular with eager consumers. However, there’s a potential proverbial fly in the ointment. CBD products are presently unregulated by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). And independent analyses have shown…
Read MoreX1740 High Power Homogenizer Drive
The 1,700-watt X1740 High Power Homogenizer Drive is our highest power homogenizer. Capable of handling liquid volumes ranging from 0.5 L up to 20 L, the X1740 may offer impressive homogenizing power, but it still works with all of our accessory shafts, from the relatively small T20 dispensing shaft, to the high capacity G40. Available separately,…
Read MoreBasic Mixology: Magnetic Hotplate Stirrers to Sophisticated Homogenizers
From the ancient alchemists to modern biotechnology labs, stirring has always been a fundamental activity in any laboratory. The pursuit of desirable chemical reactions and properly blended reagents often requires significant stirring. It’s the only way to blend diverse components. A simple magnetic hotplate stirrer may suffice for many purposes in the lab; to mix…
Read MoreThe Unidrive X1000 Homogenizer Drive
Every small to mid-sized lab needs a good benchtop homogenizer. Whether you are involved in R&D, or producing artisanal small batches of products, such as CBD consumables, the right homogenizer is crucial to your success. The Unidrive X1000 Homogenizer Drive is just right for general use when employed for homogenizing of samples as small as 0.2…
Read MorePrinciples of Rotor Stator Homogenization
Since prehistory, mankind has devised clever ways to crush — and blend — various substances. From simple mortar and pestle combinations to water-driven gristmills, the benefits of grinding and mixing have long been obvious. The goal is always the same: to render large, inconsistently sized particles — from cells, to grains, to stones — into…
