Cole-Parmer® SamplePrep BM-200 Mini Mixer/Mill® High-Energy Ball Mill

Cole-Parmer® SamplePrep BM-200 Mini Mixer/Mill® High-Energy Ball Mill Interchangeable sample vial holders for agate, steel and tungsten carbide vials. High-intensity oscillating motion mills samples to analytical fineness in seconds. Programmable control panel includes rate, run time and pause functions. Four speeds over the 750-3500 rpm range for slow speed mixing to high-speed milling for tough samples. Safety interlock stops the motor if the lid is opened during the homogenization process. Clear lid for viewing the sample milling process. Can be operated remotely with a portable battery pack. The Cole-Parmer SamplePrep BM-200 Mixer/Mill pulverizes even the toughest samples reducing them to a fine powder for easy analysis. Finely ground samples provide increased surface area which improves acid dissolution for ICP and pellet pressing or fusion bead for XRF. Designed for small-scale sample preparation, the Mixer/Mill processes samples as small as 1 gram or mixing up to 3 mL. A choice of steel, agate, tungsten carbide, and plastic vials are available for use in the interchangeable vial holders for each vial type. Select speed from 750, 2000, 3000, or 3500 rpm for slow-speed mixing to high-speed milling. The vial, which contains a sample and one ball, is shaken in a complex motion that combines back-and-forth swings with short lateral movements, each end of the vial describing a figure-8. With each swing the ball impacts against one end of the vial, simultaneously milling the sample to a powder and blending it. Simple digital control panel makes the grinder easy to use. The digital timer ensures precise grinding control, and allows you to set the timer in 5-second increments. The clear lid lets you view your sample being processed. Easy-to-load clamp design for quick vial placement and removal. The mechanical mixing process eliminates the need for manual grinding, providing consistent, reliable results without the variability of mortar and pestle methods. It also reduces the risk of cross-contamination, ensuring clean, repeatable sample preparation every time. Operation is easy, simply load your sample and grinding ball into the vial, secure the vial in the clamp and close the lid. Set the timer and start the run, the mill does the rest. The Cole-Parmer SamplePrep BM-200 Mixer/Mill is designed for safe operation with a safety interlock system that stops the motor if the lid is opened during operation, ensuring safe operation during use.
