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 80, 400, or 3500 ml bags.
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. Meanwhile, 80 mL Masticator compact models appeal to clinical and life science labs involved in small sample tissue homogenization (<10 g), and to industrial QC labs that process low-weight samples (<10 g). Panoramic and Compact models allow for homogenization monitoring through windows located in their doors. With a 3.5 L volume capacity, the MAXICATOR completes IUL’s paddle blender range, allowing for blending of large composite samples.
Application Scope
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 2 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®. With a 3.5 L volume capacity, the MAXICATOR completes IUL’s paddle blender range, allowing for blending of large composite samples.
