Turning a sample into a suspension—the essence of homogenizing—occurs in a wide range of laboratory applications. In life science and clinical research, scientists often homogenize tissue samples for various analytical studies.
Top 5 Signs That You Should Service or Replace Your Homogenizer Generator Probes
![]() | The most important component of homogenizing is your generator probe—the item that actually goes into your sample. | |
![]() | Your sample is getting hot and the generator probe or motor unit is hot to the touch. | |
![]() | There is black residue in your sample. | |
![]() | You aren’t getting the same homogenizing results you used to. | |
![]() | Some of the inner components, such as PTFE bearings, look worn or overly discolored. | |
![]() | Your generator probe is seizing up. | |
If you have never taken apart your generator probe for a good cleaning, then chances are that some maintenance is required. |
Top 6 Questions That You Should Ask When Buying a Homogenizer
![]() | How does this homogenizer differ from the competition? What makes it superior in quality and cost effective for the scientist? |
![]() | What accessories are necessary to run the unit? Are there pre-assembled bead kits to use that will simplify the homogenization process? |
![]() | Does the company offer demo units for the scientist to test out? |
![]() | Does the company offer application and technical phone support before/after the product purchase? |
![]() | Ask about replacements in case the product parts break down with use. |
![]() | Finally, ask about cost of the purchase, installation charges and warranty extension costs. |
