SPEX CG-900-115

Breakthrough, hands free processing from bulk to analytical preparation in 15 minutes or less

The Cryo-Blade™ is an ultra high-capacity cryogenic grinder for sample preparation and processing of up to 1kg of sample. The Cryo-Blade automatically dispenses liquid nitrogen to allow the sample to reach cryogenic temperatures and then activates a grinding phase to pulverize samples, resulting in repeatable and reproducible sample comminution. No liquid nitrogen handling required.

When liquid nitrogen is not desired or available, the unit can be used with dry ice to achieve desired results.

Automatic and protocol modes available. In automatic mode, parameters are set based on the volume of the sample. Protocol mode allows users to save up to 10 protocols. Cryo-Blade can accommodate samples up to 1kg per run. Cycle can be executed in 15 minutes when using liquid nitrogen, or 30 minutes when using dry ice. The intuitive interface includes 12 languages.

The insulated outer bowl, mechanical locking lever, and sensors provide the user with a safe, consistent, and reliable sample each use. The removable 5L inner bowl can accommodate samples up to 1kg and allows samples to be stored in the freezer, giving the user the option of using a second bowl to prepare a new batch. The outer bowl is insulated to allow safe touch at all times, although it is recommended to use protective gloves.
