- Crystal lattice preserved during grinding operation
- Very narrow and reproducible particle size distribution
- Compact, bench-top sized model
- Adjustable grinding power (four steps)
- Suitable for dry and wet grinding
- Easy to clean
- Quiet operation
- Preparation kit available for pre-crushing samples
- Reduces 0.5 mm particles to sub-micron in just a few minutes
- Volume of sample to be ground should not exceed 5 mL.
- Optimum grinding efficiency is 2 mL sample.
- Wet grinding: 4 mL sample with 7 mL liquid
- Possible Liquids:
- Water
- Propan-2-ol (isopropyl or IPA)
- Do not use acetone!
Motion Creates:
- Linear Contact Blows
- Planar Shearing
Results:
- Short Grinding Time
- Virtually no sample loss
- Even particle size distribution
- No chemical degradation of particles
- No change to the crystal lattice
