Homogenizers are used to break down samples—including food products, cosmetics, soil, plant matter, tissues, and more—before those samples are analyzed. The goal of homogenization is to produce a sample with the analytes of interest dispersed uniformly throughout. There are handheld and bench-mounted configurations available, along with a variety of probes to match various sample types.

6 Questions to Ask When Buying a Homogenizer:
- What type of samples and materials are being processed? At what volumes?
- How much wattage is required to process samples?
- How many samples can be processed at once?
- How long does homogenization take?
- How much heat is generated? This is important to know if you have heat-sensitive samples.
- How noisy is the homogenizer?
