DLAB D-160

The Handheld Homogenizer is a portable, lightweight rotor-stator homogenizer featuring variable speed control (8,000-32,000 rpm with 10 speed settings), interchangeable autoclavable 316L stainless steel dispersing shafts, and an ergonomic handheld design, engineered for rapid homogenization, dispersion, and emulsification of biological tissues, cells, and clinical specimens in diagnostic and research laboratories .

Key features include a 160W AC carbon brush motor, 10-stage adjustable speed dial for precise control of homogenization intensity , interchangeable dispersing shafts (DS-160/5: 5mm diameter, 0.1-50 mL working volume; DS-160/10: 10mm diameter, 1-250 mL working volume) , and fully autoclavable 316L stainless steel construction with PTFE seals for chemical resistance and contamination prevention  . The compact (45 × 55 × 190 mm) and lightweight (0.54 kg) design allows single-handed operation and easy transport between workstations  . An optional H370 stand enables hands-free, stationary operation .

For the histotechnologist and pathologist, the D-160 processes tissue samples such as muscle, liver, breast, and other organs in 10-30 seconds —enabling rapid preparation of homogenized specimens for histological examination, immunohistochemistry, and diagnostic pathology . For the molecular biologist, it supports cell disruption and nucleic acid extraction for PCR-based infectious disease testing, genetic screening, and oncology biomarker detection . For the clinical microbiologist, it processes bacterial and fungal specimens for pathogen identification and antimicrobial susceptibility testing .

For the patient undergoing biopsy for suspected cancer, inflammatory disease, or infectious condition, the Handheld Homogenizer rapid tissue homogenization reduces turnaround time for diagnostic results, enabling earlier diagnosis and treatment initiation . For patients requiring molecular diagnostic testing, efficient cell lysis and nucleic acid extraction ensure accurate PCR and sequencing results that guide appropriate treatment decisions across clinical pathology, molecular diagnostics, and infectious disease testing applications .
