Homogenizers

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.
