Masticator Homogenizer

Masticator Homogenizer

Masticator paddle blenders enable thorough homogenization of samples while isolating them from any possible contamination. The Masticator’s high-quality durable motors ensure safe and efficient homogenization. This solution is for food, cosmetic, pharmaceutical and clinical laboratories that seek reliable homogenization that is cross-contamination-free. The Masticator blenders disperse samples inside sterile bags with paddles that drive a masticating action while moving the sample from side to side. This key step in sample preparation ensures homogenous distribution of microorganisms throughout the diluent. Several models encompass a wide array of possibilities.

System Highlights

No Sample Cross Contamination: Samples are protected from any contamination during homogenization thanks to the use of sterile disposable bags

Durable: Second to none in durability, the Masticator’s high-quality spring system has proven to withstand the most challenging blending procedures. Customers benefit from a 3-year warranty for any masticator blender.

Ease to use: the Masticators require virtually no maintenance and are easily cleaned when their front door is fully removed.

Application scope

The Masticator lab blenders are used for homogenization during microbiological testing. Food, cosmetic and pharmaceutical labs like to use 400 ml Masticator blenders for homogenizing 10 to 40 g of previously diluted samples. 400 mL bags with and without filters can be used. The former can be used for pipetting debris-free homogenized liquid and are particularly recommended when homogenizations yield sample suspensions with high amounts of large-sized particles. Meanwhile, 80 mL Masticator compact models appeal to clinical and life science labs involved in small sample tissue homogenization (<10 g), and to industrial QC labs that process low-weight samples (<10 g). Panoramic and Compact models allow for homogenization monitoring through windows located in their doors. With a 3.5 L volume capacity, the MAXICATOR completes IUL’s paddle blender range, allowing for blending of large composite samples.
