Paddle Blender
The paddle blender provides uniform distribution of microorganisms without damaging sample structure and prevents cross-contamination. It is widely used in food safety, biomedicine, disease research, and related fields.
Features
- Non-contact homogenization: Samples are fully enclosed in disposable sterile homogenization bags, preventing direct contact with equipment and cross-contamination.
- Efficient sterilization: Built-in UV disinfection lamp for chamber sterilization during standby or between runs, ensuring a clean operating environment.
- Intelligent control system: HD LCD screen, intuitive interface, memory for homogenization time/speed, and storage for three common programs to boost efficiency.
- Multiple safety mechanisms: Voice alarm system with prompts for short-circuit, disconnection, over-temperature, work completion, and a safety door with photoelectric sensors that stops operation when opened to prevent misuse.
- Easy to clean and maintain: Full-open mirror stainless steel door, removable handle design, and transparent observation window for real-time monitoring and easy cleaning.
- Flexible beat adjustment: Adjustable beat intensity and distance for processing samples of various textures and volumes.
- Hygienic and reliable structure: Contact parts made of 304 or 316 sanitary stainless steel, ensuring safety and hygiene for long-term use.
Working Principle
Motor-driven twin paddle plates repeatedly slap the sample in a sterile bag for a set frequency and duration, efficiently crushing, dispersing, and mixing without mechanical blades. This process releases microorganisms, proteins, toxins, DNA, and other components into the homogenizing solution while maintaining their integrity and activity. The method avoids damage from heating or physical shearing, making it ideal for heat-sensitive or structurally sensitive samples.
Application Areas
- Food industry: Sample prep for microbial contamination and pesticide residue analysis (meat, dairy, fruits/vegetables, seafood, etc.).
- Pharmaceutical and clinical: Homogenization of tissue samples (e.g., tumors) for cell culture, isolation, or genetic analysis.
- Cosmetic testing: Microorganism extraction to ensure product safety.
- Environmental monitoring: Quantitative detection of microorganisms in soil and water.
- Disease control and epidemic monitoring: Preparation of animal/human tissue samples for pathogen detection.
- Teaching and scientific research: Laboratory use for microbiology, bioengineering, food engineering, and related studies.
