Sample preparation: Homogenizers
|
The Paddle Blender PB 100 is designed for sample preparation for subsequent
microbiological food testing. The homogenization of the sample is produced by
a combination of mechanical effects. The paddles crush the sample during the
first 3 seconds with maximum speed; this is complemented by a peristaltic mixing
of the sample which guarantees optimum sample preparation (patented
SMASH effect). The samples are prepared in disposable sterile bags. Thus,
cross contamination is avoided and instrument sterilization between samples
made obsolete. The automatic overload protection for difficult samples, such
as carrots or cheese rind, helps to avoid blockage; it is not necessary to reposition
the bag.
The PB 100 is exceptionally easy to operate. Three preset speeds and nine
different blending times offer a wide range of possibilities. The PB 100 is
started simply by pulling down the handle. In case sample material has leaked
into the chamber, cleaning the PB 100 is a matter of seconds due to the fully
accessible chamber, integrated waste drawer and round corners. The Paddle
Blender combines unique design with robust construction. The housing and
chamber made of ABS are resistant to disinfectants and wear. The paddles
and inside door are made of stainless steel. The innovative design of the
PB 100 (soundproof conception) makes it the quietest lab blender compared
to any standard blender in the market with only half the noise development.
