• 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
