Homogenization of raw animal proteins

PRO Scientific Homogenizers are ideal for the homogenization of raw animal proteins. Homogenization of these samples allows for prepping samples of raw materials to test for moisture, fat, protein and ash. A range of setups are available depending upon your desired result and processing requirements.

PRO250 Homogenizer – samples with liquid medium

With the addition of liquid medium, a PRO250 and PRO rotor-stator homogenizer generator probes can effectively and efficiently breakdown meat samples. PRO rotor-stator homogenizer generator probes are precision crafted with a very narrow clearance between the inner rotating shaft and outer tube/chamber. This allows for quick, effective and repetitive processing, meaning you will get the results you want each and every time.

The variable speed of our homogenizers allows for the utmost control of your homogenization to ensure precise results.

PRO250 Homogenizer – samples without liquid medium

When sample integrity is of an utmost priority and you cannot dilute or change the composition of the raw materials in any way the PRO250 and PRO rotor-stator homogenizer generator probes can effectively and efficiently breakdown meat samples. PRO rotor-stator homogenizer generator probes are precision crafted with a very narrow clearance between the inner rotating shaft and outer tube/chamber. This allows for quick, effective and repetitive processing, meaning you will get the results you want each and every time.

The variable speed of our homogenizers allows for the utmost control of your homogenization to ensure precise results.

For larger samples, the PRO250 along with a PRO Cryo Generator Probe provides shearing with blades within a caged system.

PRO250 Homogenizer – Large volume samples with liquid medium, two-step breakdown for the utmost in homogenization and fiber breakdown

When it is necessary to breakdown all fibers, even those of some of the toughest samples, like ground turkey and in large quantities, a two-step approach to homogenizing is often needed. The PRO250 is used with a PRO Safety Sealed Assembly and PRO rotor-stator homogenizer generator probe. Together, these homogenizing accessories can effectively and efficiently breakdown meat samples and fibers in a large volume. PRO rotor-stator homogenizer generator probes are precision crafted with a very narrow clearance between the inner rotating shaft and outer tube/chamber. This allows for quick, effective and repetitive processing, meaning you will get the results you want each and every time.

Multi-Gen Homogenizer Applications: The better alternative to plastic homogenizer probes

Multi-Gen Homogenizer Probes

You may be concerned about cross contamination between samples while homogenizing, but remember…plastic doesn’t cut it.

Multi-Gen 7 and Multi-Gen 7XL Homogenizer Probes are the better alternative to plastic disposable homogenizer probes.

Our advantages over plastic disposable probes:

Higher sample breakdown yields

Multi-Gen probes provide higher sample breakdown yields even for homogenization of difficult samples, including the toughest of tissues over plastic versions. The clearance between the stainless steel rotor-stator is extremely tight and along with its open-slotted teeth, lead to higher shear rates along with faster overall cutting ability compared to the plastic versions. This provides better performance in results in less time.

Extended usage

Multi-Gen Probes were quality tested and run for 11 hours and showed no signs of wear because of its quality design and superior material. Plastic versions have limited usage, depending on brand some will even only allow 1-2 uses. Plastic probes are commonly recommended as single use. In some cases, an overused plastic disposable probe or tough sample can shatter or splitter it during homogenizing.

Chemical compatibility

Multi-Gen Probes material components of 316 Stainless Steel and PTFE provides a greater reagent compatibility compared to plastic models, which have significant limitations. Cleaning Multi-Gen probes is easier because of this construction and probes can be continually sterilized by any method, including flaming & autoclaving. Plastic versions can only be cleaned with certain methods, and depending on brand, maybe autoclaved 1-2 times no matter the sample.

Environmentally & budget conscious

Multi-Gen Probes are environmentally and budget friendly compared to continually discarding plastic versions. Avoid making your homogenizing a consumable. Multi-Gen Probes have the ability to be continually used, unlike a plastic probe that will need to be purchased again and again.
