Overview
The High Speed Homogenizer HZ-500Max is a digitally controlled laboratory homogenizer developed for scientists and laboratory technicians who require consistent sample preparation and process control. Unlike conventional manual homogenizers, this system combines programmable operation, safety monitoring, and quick-change rotor stator assemblies in a compact benchtop design. As a result, laboratories can improve workflow efficiency while maintaining repeatable homogenization conditions. The instrument is suitable for emulsification, dispersion, tissue disruption, liquid-liquid mixing, and liquid-solid processing across research, academic, industrial, and quality control environments.

Digital Speed and Process Control

Users can adjust operating parameters through a simple control knob, making routine operation straightforward and efficient. The HZ-500Max features an intuitive digital display that provides real-time information, including:
  • Actual rotational speed
  • Target rotational speed
  • Timer settings
  • Temperature monitoring
  • System status indicators

Brushless Motor Technology

Laboratories can process a wide variety of samples while maintaining controlled operating conditions. The integrated DC brushless motor provides stable operation across the full speed range.

Key specifications include:
  • Speed range: 3,000 – 15,000 rpm
  • Speed adjustment increments: 500 rpm
  • Clockwise rotation
  • Rated power: 250 W
  • Timer range: 0–24 hours

Quick-Connect Rotor Stator System

The quick-connect mechanism allows rapid installation and removal of working heads. Therefore, users can switch between applications without lengthy setup procedures. The working heads are manufactured from 316 stainless steel, providing corrosion resistance for many common laboratory applications.

Multiple Working Head Options

The High Speed Homogenizer HZ-500Max supports three interchangeable rotor stator assemblies. This flexibility enables users to optimize processing performance according to sample volume and viscosity.

Advanced Safety Features

Tilt Detection Protection
Laboratory safety is often a critical requirement during high-speed processing. Therefore, the HZ-500Max includes an integrated tilt detection system. As a result, laboratories can reduce the risk of accidental damage during operation. If the instrument tips beyond the permitted operating angle, the system:
  • Stops operation automatically
  • Activates an audible alarm
  • Displays a warning indication

One-Button Lock Function
The control lock feature prevents accidental parameter changes while experiments are running. Consequently, users can maintain process consistency throughout extended homogenization procedures.

Internal Temperature Monitoring
The instrument continuously monitors internal operating temperature. If the system reaches the configured protection threshold, the homogenizer activates an alarm and stops operation automatically. This feature helps protect critical components during demanding applications.

Applications

The High Speed Homogenizer HZ-500Max is suitable for a broad range of laboratory applications, including:

Life Science and Biotechnology
  • Tissue homogenisation
  • Cell disruption
  • Sample preparation
  • Protein extraction
  • Biological suspensions
