FAQs

How easy is it to clean the D160 Homogenizer?

The D160 Homogenizer is designed for easy maintenance. Its stainless steel shafts are autoclavable, allowing thorough sterilization between uses. The components are easily disassembled, enabling quick and efficient cleaning. Regular maintenance involves wiping down the exterior and ensuring the generator is free of residue, which helps maintain optimal performance and prolong the device's lifespan.

Can the D160 Homogenizer handle viscous samples?

The D160 Homogenizer can process samples with viscosities up to 5000 cps (mPa-s). However, it is not suitable for very viscous liquids or powders. For optimal performance, use the homogenizer within its specified viscosity range to ensure effective homogenization and prevent motor strain.

What type of samples can be processed with this homogenizer?

The D160 Homogenizer is versatile and can handle a variety of sample types, including solid and liquid media, as well as tissue samples. It is particularly effective for homogenizing biological tissues such as muscle, liver, and breast tissue, making it ideal for applications in biological research and clinical laboratories.

Is the D160 Homogenizer compatible with other generator probes?

Yes, the D160 Homogenizer is compatible with interchangeable generator probes. This feature allows users to customize the device for specific applications, enhancing its versatility. The saw-tooth generators are particularly useful for tissue homogenization and processing cell lysis, providing flexibility for different laboratory needs.

What is covered under the 1-year warranty?

The 1-year warranty for the D160 Homogenizer covers any defects in materials or workmanship under normal use conditions. This warranty ensures that any issues arising from manufacturing defects will be addressed, providing peace of mind to users. It is important to follow the manufacturer's guidelines for use and maintenance to ensure warranty validity.
