The Scilogex D160 Homogenizer can rapidly homogenize, disperse, and emulsify samples in 0.1 - 50 ml of liquid (or 1-250 ml depending on the generating probe). During operation, the suspended material is drawn into the core of the homogenizer by a rotor turning at up to 30,000 rpm. The material is repeatedly cycled through narrow slits in the probe, where it is rapidly sheared and disintegrated. Complete homogenization of tissues (muscle, liver, breast tissue, etc.) is usually achieved in a few seconds. Little, if any, heat is produced during the process.
