The Handheld Homogenizer D160: Fast and Efficient Sample Processing
Perfect for Small-Volume Homogenization, Emulsification, and Dispersion
The D160 handheld homogenizer is designed for:
- Mixing, emulsifying, shredding, or chopping small samples
- Handling volumes from 0.1ml to 250ml efficiently
- Lightweight, ergonomic design for one-hand operation
- Durable 316L stainless steel generator with PTFE bushings
- Autoclavable stainless steel shafts resistant to aggressive solutions
- Interchangeable shafts for easy cleaning
- High-speed motor with adjustable speed from 8,000 to 30,000 rpm
- Safe for use with solvents and abrasive substances
The Handheld Homogenizer D160 is widely used by laboratories, food and beverage developers, cosmetic formulators, and research facilities to blend, emulsify, and disperse samples quickly with high shear action. Handheld homogenizers use a rotating probe to generate intense mechanical shear that breaks up particles and emulsifies liquids, helping create uniform suspensions and stable formulations prior to analytical testing or product development, a process discussed in industry resources on homogenization techniques.
Professionals value handheld homogenizers for their portability, ease of cleaning, and rapid performance that support on‑demand sample preparation. Compared with manual mixing or low‑shear methods, a powered homogenizer delivers more consistent particle size reduction and dispersion, improving reproducibility and quality control in applications such as microbial cell disruption, emulsion preparation, and formulation studies.
Rapid and Gentle Homogenization
During operation, the sample is drawn into the rotor spinning up to 30,000 rpm. The material passes through narrow openings in the probe, where it undergoes high shear, breaking it down efficiently. Complete homogenization of tissues like muscle, liver, or breast tissue typically occurs in seconds. It is ideal for animal cell lysis, with minimal heat generation.
Industries and Advantages
The D160 is widely used in research labs, biotech, and food science for rapid sample preparation. Users appreciate its speed, precision, and easy cleanup compared to similar devices. Its robust construction and autoclavable parts make it stand out for long-term laboratory use.
Handheld Homogenizer D160 - How to Use
Cleaning and Maintenance
1. Immediately clean the dispersing element after use to prevent residue buildup.
2. Run the dispersing tool in a compatible solvent that removes residues without damaging the Teflon bearing or steel.
3. Disassemble the dispersing element for thorough cleaning.
4. Regular maintenance ensures long-lasting, efficient operation.
