The Masticator is a laboratory paddle blender that carries out a profound homogenization in order to obtain a representative sample for food, cosmetics, pharmaceutical, and clinical quality control, while isolating them from any possible contamination. The Masticator homogenizes samples inside sterile bags thanks to its paddles that drive a masticating action while moving the sample from side to side. This key step in sample preparation ensures homogenous distribution of microorganisms throughout the diluent. Several models encompass a wide array of possibilities.
