ball mill for fine grinding and tissue cell breaking

High Throughput Tissue Ball Mill

The high throughput tissue ball mill is ideal for biological cell wall disruption and extraction of DNA, RNA, and chlorophyll a. It is engineered for rapid and reproducible sample grinding, mixing, and homogenization within seconds, supporting research and analysis in various fields.

Technical Features

1. Fast grinding and reproducible results: Efficient grinding, mixing, and homogenization achieved in seconds.
2. Wide selection of materials and accessory sizes: Compatible with various grinding containers and balls for different samples.
3. Adjustable grinding time and vibration frequency: Continuous control for optimized processing.
4. High throughput: Processes up to 192 samples in a single run using a multi-well adapter.
5. Supports dry, wet, and frozen grinding.
6. Screw cap grinding jar: Optimal for frozen grinding, prevents condensation and moisture intrusion.
7. Program storage: Stores up to 9 program groups for reproducible results.

Working Principle

Samples and grinding balls are placed in the grinding container (jar, tube, or adapter). High-frequency oscillation drives the balls to strike and rub the sample, causing rapid grinding, pulverization, mixing, and cell rupture—typically completed in seconds to minutes.

High-throughput tissue grinding:
The MM100 ball mill with a multi-well adapter can process up to 192 tissue samples simultaneously, ensuring reproducible, high-quality sample preparation and improved laboratory efficiency.

Frozen grinding:
Pre-freezing the sample and grinding jar enables grinding of thermo-sensitive, viscous, and elastic materials. The screw cap seal prevents condensation and moisture entry, preserving sample integrity and analysis accuracy.
