Masticator and Masticator SWAP Paddle Homogenizers
Homogenize samples quickly, reliably, and reproducibly.
The IUL Masticator is a high-performance paddle homogenizer designed for microbiological sample preparation and quality control. It homogenizes samples in sterile, single-use bags efficiently and uniformly, ensuring representative sample distribution for subsequent microbiological analyses.
The paddles break up and disperse the sample material without applying excessive shear forces. This preserves the viability of the microorganisms and supports reliable, reproducible colony counting.
Thanks to its robust construction, ease of use, and durable spring system, the Masticator is ideal for daily use in demanding laboratories.
It integrates seamlessly into IUL’s microbiological workflow and can be combined with the Smart Dilutor W for precise sample dilution and the Eddy Jet 2W for automated plate seeding.
The Benefits of the Masticator
Reliable Sample Homogenization
Efficient homogenization in sterile sample bags ensures a uniform and representative sample. This lays the foundation for reliable results in microbiological quality control and subsequent bacterial count determination.
Prevention of Cross-Contamination
The use of sterile, single-use bags ensures hygienic sample processing. Since the sample material is homogenized directly inside the bag, it does not come into direct contact with the homogenization chamber. This helps prevent cross-contamination between samples.
Sturdy and durable, with a 3-year warranty
The high-quality spring system is designed for intensive daily laboratory use and ensures reliable, consistent performance. IUL offers a 3-year warranty on the Masticator.
Easy to Use and Clean
The Masticator is designed for convenient use in the laboratory. The front door can be removed, allowing easy access to the homogenization chamber for cleaning.
The Right Model for Different Laboratory Needs
The Masticator series offers various models to meet different laboratory needs.
