Product Description
The BenchMasher 400 homogenizes samples inside sealed sterile bags, so the sample never touches the instrument. Mixing paddles strike the bag rapidly for thorough, consistent homogenization of samples up to 400 mL, ideal for pathogen and microbial testing of food and environmental samples.
Speed and cycle time are set on a full-color touch screen, the chamber can be heated to 65°C for applications such as Trichinella testing, and a built-in 254 nm UV lamp decontaminates the chamber between runs. LIGHT LABS stocks the full Benchmark line, so the right accessory is always within reach.
