The Benchmark Scientific IPD4400 BenchMasher™ 400 Labaratory Paddle Blender, 120V provides fast and effective mixing, ensuring consistent homogenization. It is ideal for preparation of samples were eliminating contamination is critical, such as pathogen and microbial detection in food and water filters. However, its use is not limited to those areas - the IPD4400 has applications anywhere larger solid samples need broken down or products such as powders and polymers need mixed.

Samples up to 400ml are conveniently loaded in the IPD4400 sterile blender bags which are sealed upon closing the door. Mixing paddles rapidly strike the bags, producing thorough mixing and homogenization without ever directly contacting the sample. Programming the IPD4400 is user friendly - mixing speed and cycle time are easily adjusted on the large, full color touch screen. Paddle positions can be adjusted to ensure efficient processing of samples. For applications that require thermal regulation (such as Trichinella testing in meat) the IPD4400 chamber can be heated and maintained at temperatures up to 65°C.

The IPD4400 door is removable for access to the chamber and stainless steel mixing paddles. Each paddle includes a convenient rubber cover that is easily removed or replaced. A UV light (254nm) is built into the chamber and can be activated at any time to perform complete decontamination.
