Applications Continue to Grow for Cryogenic Milling!

Once regarded as the "Mill of last resort" the 6770 Freezer Mill, from SPEX CertiPrep Ltd, is rapidly becoming the sample preparation method of choice. As measurement technology becomes more accurate the many freezer mill features become even more important than before?

? Preservation of volatiles within a sealed container.
? Contamination free grinding.
? Flexible samples become super brittle.
? Heat sensitive samples retain integrity at -190c.
? Grinding times for many samples are radically reduced.
? Bench top footprint of just 30 x 23cm.

Anyone dealing with the extraction of DNA and RNA from difficult samples (teeth, bone, hair etc.) will find the 6770 gives superior genetic profiles due to the reduced grinding damage and low temperatures. Forensic sciences and Pharmaceutical research institutions have all seen direct benefits from using cryo milling technology, not only from preserving DNA etc but also for grinding gelatine based capsules and heat sensitive metabolites.

Grinding aromatics and hydrocarbon bearing minerals in the sealed tube system means the whole sample is retained for a more accurate analysis which benefits the food and petrochem sectors at many levels.

If you have had any grinding or sample preparation problems in the past the Freezer Mill might hold the answer. SPEX CertiPrep are always "up for a challenge" so why not pass us your real problem grinds for a test.
