Handheld Homogenizer – D-130 for Efficient Sample Processing
The D-130 from Wiggens is a compact yet powerful tool designed for a wide range of laboratory homogenization tasks. Distributed by Apex Scientific in South Africa, it is ideal for mixing, emulsifying, shredding, and chopping small sample volumes in research, clinical, and industrial settings.
Thanks to its lightweight, ergonomic design, the D-130 allows for precise one-handed operation, improving both comfort and control. It features interchangeable, autoclavable stainless-steel shafts that resist aggressive chemicals. These shafts are easy to remove and clean, which helps streamline workflows and maintain contamination control. Additionally, its variable-speed motor, adjustable from 8,000 to 30,000 RPM, provides the flexibility needed for various sample types and applications.
Applications Across Scientific Disciplines
Whether used in biotech, pharmaceuticals, clinical diagnostics, or academic research, the D-130 offers consistent performance across diverse homogenization workflows. It supports a wide range of scientific applications and helps enhance productivity and reproducibility.
- Tissue Processing: Efficiently homogenizes tumor tissues, aiding research into disease mechanisms.
- Pharmaceutical Testing: Quickly dissolves pills and sugar-coated tablets, supporting quality control and API (active pharmaceutical ingredient) extraction.
- Molecular Biology: Disrupts cells and isolates RNA/DNA from plant, animal, or human tissues—ideal for genetic and genomic studies.
- Sample Preparation: Easily handles small quantities of fibrous or tough materials, providing reliable results for analytical procedures.
