The Cole-Parmer CG-450 Freezer/Mill® cryogenic grinder (formerly SPEX 6875 Freezer/Mill) – including the Auto-Fill – function. The first choice for grinding sample quantities between 0.1 and 100g in the case of temperature-sensitive samples or samples that are impossible to grind at room temperature.
The sister model of the CG-400 is filled with liquid nitrogen automatically. The permanent cooling of the sample container in liquid nitrogen, the robust mechanics with only one moving part and the intuitive touchscreen operation ensure maximum efficiency and durability.
The CG-500 Freezer/Mill® is a high-throughput, dual chamber, cryogenic grinder. It accommodates samples in the 0.1 to 200g range (100g per grinding chamber). Each grinding chamber can hold one large grinding vial or four standard grinding vials. Sample vial maintains cryogenic temperatures due to continuous immersion in liquid nitrogen.
When performance matters: The top model from the Freezer/Mill series offers two grinding chambers, two pre-cooling chambers and the choice of manual or automatic filling with liquid nitrogen. The permanent cooling, the robust mechanics and the intuitive touchscreen operation ensure maximum efficiency and durability.
For cryogenic grinding of food samples up to max. 1kg per run for a representative sample.
The Cole-Parmer CG-900 Cryo-Blade Cryogenic Grinder is used to grind and homogenize a maximum of 1kg of plant or soft animal tissue under cryogenic conditions. The filling with liquid nitrogen takes place automatically, there is no direct contact with the sample or the laboratory staff. Typical grinding times are 15 minutes or less.

Bead beating with the Cole-Parmer HG-400 MiniG® is carried out by a vertical movement that is identical at all sample positions with a maximum frequency of 1500 strokes per minute. Temperature-sensitive samples can be ground using optionally available cooling adapters.
High-throughput cell disruption as well as fast and efficient sample homogenization with the Cole-Parmer HG-600 Geno/Grinder® 2010 (formerly SPEX 2010 Geno/Grinder®) - simultaneous homogenization of 576 samples in 6 x 96 deep well plates or up to 16 x 50 ml tubes
Bead beating with the Cole-Parmer HG-600 Geno/Grinder® 2010 is carried out by a vertical movement that is identical at all sample positions with a maximum frequency of 1750 strokes per minute. Temperature-sensitive samples can be ground using optionally available cooling adapters.
For quick and safe sealing of titer plates with the ANSI/SLAS standard format by heating the sealing film.
The SPEX Genoseal 2060 semi-automatic heat sealer processes deep-well, shallow-well, low-profile deep-well, filter, and assay plates that conform to the ANSI/SLAS standard format. Sealing times for most plates are five seconds or less. Sealed plates are automatically ejected from the unit when the sealing cycle has completed.
HIGH ENERGY BALL-MILL´S
Compact laboratory ball mill for small sample quantities - grinding and homogenizing in 2ml, 3.5ml, 5ml, 7ml and 12ml tubes - up to six grinding vials at the same time.
The Cole-Parmer BM-200 Mixer / Mill® laboratory ball-mill allows the use of grinding vials made of plastic, stainless steel, agate or tungsten carbide.
