Lab Manager Magazine recently compiled the top 6 questions you should ask when buying a homogenizer.¹

Here are our responses to them:

1. How does this homogenizer differ from the competition? What makes it superior in quality and cost effective for the scientist?

When it comes to homogenizing, the precision lies in the generator probe, the component that actually comes into contact with your sample. No other homogenizer manufacturer puts as much research and quality into their generator probes as PRO Scientific does and this is what sets us apart from our competition.
PRO Generator Probes are

High precision durable pieces of equipment that are built to last
Constructed from 316SS and designed to be chemically compatible with your research

Interlocking design of generator probe and homogenizer unit provides safety and no vibration
Designed to be anti-foaming in design and are very easy to take apart and clean in between samples
Full line of replacement parts are available, thereby extending the life of this valuable piece of equipment
Feature a full 2-Year Warranty

2. What accessories are necessary to run the unit?

To begin homogenizing all you need is a motor unit and a generator probe.
With our homogenizers, there are no special tubes or beads to have to invest in or to continue to buy.

4. Does the company offer application and technical phone support before / after the product purchase?

Absolutely!

5. Ask about replacements in case the product parts break down with use.
