SCILOGEX D160 Rotor-Stator Homogenizer for 0.1-250 ml Sample Volumes

The SCILOGEX D160 is a high-performance rotor-stator homogenizer designed for rapid homogenization, dispersion, and emulsification of small biological samples ranging from 0.1 to 250 ml. Operating at adjustable speeds from 8,000 to 30,000 RPM, it is optimized for processing various sample types including tissues, plant material, and cell suspensions commonly encountered in molecular diagnostics, biotechnology, and synthetic biology workflows.

Key technical features:

• Rotor-stator mechanism: Generates high shear forces to efficiently lyse cells and disrupt tissues, critical for consistent sample preparation in gene editing and bioprocessing applications.
• Autoclavable, interchangeable stainless-steel shafts: Allow sterilization and flexible probe selection tailored to sample size and type, essential for maintaining sample integrity in clinical diagnostics and biomanufacturing environments.
• Compatibility with microtubes: Supports precise homogenization of minimal volume samples without cross contamination, enhancing reproducibility in molecular cloning and cell imaging protocols.
• Lightweight (under 2 lbs) and ergonomically designed: Facilitates manual handling and reduces operator fatigue during repetitive homogenization tasks in lab settings.
• Not suitable for high-viscosity liquids or powders: Best for aqueous or soft tissue matrices, common in neuroscience and biomedical engineering research.
• Minimized heat transfer to samples: Prevents thermal degradation of temperature-sensitive biomolecules, maintaining protein and nucleic acid stability for reliable downstream analysis.

The SCILOGEX D160 homogenizer offers a cost-effective, durable solution widely adopted in biotechnology research and biopharmaceutical production pipelines, where reliable homogenization of small to medium sample volumes is critical. It supports essential workflows such as cell lysis, tissue disruption, and sample emulsification required for synthetic biology research and live-cell imaging sample preparation.

Its practical design and range of accessory probes make it adaptable across multiple lab disciplines, promoting consistent, reproducible results while reducing sample processing time and operational costs. This makes the D160 an ideal tool for laboratories focused on molecular biology, clinical research, and bioprocessing applications.
