BONES MIXER MILLS (Retsch MM400)
Definition
The mixer mill MM 400 is a compact versatile bench-top unit, which has been developed specially for dry, wet and cryogenic grinding of small amounts of sample. It allows a final fineness level of 5 µm.
This model mixes and homogenizes the powders in a few seconds by powerful impact and friction grinding, up to 30 Hz.
It allows the efficient disintegration of cells in cell suspension for the extraction of DNA / RNA and proteins as well as the isolation of tissue bacteria tubes for an accurate diagnosis of infections.
In our contexts, it is used to grind bones in bacteriology laboratories.
