Masticator Homogenizer
Masticator paddle blenders enable thorough homogenization of samples while isolating them from any possible contamination. The Masticator’s high-quality durable motors ensure safe and efficient homogenization. This solution is for food, cosmetic, pharmaceutical and clinical laboratories that seek reliable homogenization that is cross-contamination-free. The Masticator blenders disperse samples inside sterile bags with paddles that drive a masticating action while moving the sample from side to side. This key step in sample preparation ensures homogenous distribution of microorganisms throughout the diluent. Several models encompass a wide array of possibilities.

System Highlights
Robust: Second to none in durability, the Masticator’s high-quality spring system has proven to withstand the most challenging blending procedures. Customers benefit from a 3-year warranty for any masticator blender.
Easy to clean: The Masticators are easily cleaned when fully removing their front door.
Masticator SWAP allows the removal of the paddles.
Wide application scope: Choose the model that fits your needs. Compatible with 400 ml bag.
Controlled blending time: From 15 seconds to continuous homogenization, set your preparation as it better fits your lab.
Application scope
The Masticator lab blenders are used for homogenization during microbiological testing. Food, cosmetic and pharmaceutical labs like to use 400 ml Masticator blenders for homogenizing 10 to 40 g of previously diluted samples. 400 mL bags with and without filters can be used. The former can be used for pipetting debris-free homogenized liquid and are particularly recommended when homogenizations yield sample suspensions with high amounts of large-sized particles. Panoramic and Compact models allow for homogenization monitoring through windows located in their doors.
How to continue processing diluted samples
After dilution, sample-containing bags can be stored in Portabag bag holders pending homogenization in Masticator blenders. Once homogenized, the Eddy Jet 2W spiral plater is used to reduce the number of plates processed, offering a threefold decimal dilution counting range in a single plate. Following incubation, plates are automatically counted and fed with the Plate Handler or automatically counted and manually fed with the SphereFlash®.
