Temperature-controlled preparation of biochemical samples
15 May 2023In this application note, explore how the Mixer Mill MM 500 control is being used for the preparation of biochemical samples. This new instrument has the possibility to carry out temperature-controlled sample processing with two grinding stations for screw-lock sample vessels and a vibration frequency of up to 30 Hz. Retsch presents the use of the Mixer Mill MM 500 control in an application example of the cell disruption process of a global pharmaceutical and diagnostics company.

Sample PreparationSample preparation can improve the quality and speed of separation techniques. Products to assist sample preparation include filtration equipment, evaporators, membranes and sieves.Sample ManagementSample management systems include sample storage devices such as freezers and plate storers, sample environment enclosures and sample organization, retrieval and sorter systems. Useful system features include high-throughput, automation, robotic arms, automated liquid handling and associated database systems. Accessories in sample management include barcode scanners, heat sealers and tubes.Mills, Sieves and PressesMills, sieves and presses are used to break and sort solid materials into smaller particle sizes for further processing such as pellet pressing or analysis. Milling equipment includes grinders, ball mills, cutting mills, jaw crushers, knife mills, beater and planetary mills. Sorting of smaller particulates can be achieved with test sieves and sieve shakers. Final powders can be pressed with hydraulic presses. Milling and pressing solid samples is an important preparation step in X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy (XRF) and diffraction (XRD).
