The Labmart PBH40T Paddle Blender Homogenizer is designed for microbiological sample preparation, particularly for extracting and washing intact microorganisms into solution. It handles 4–400 mL samples, provides adjustable paddle flapping speed, programmable operation with 8 stored programs, a 4.3-inch touchscreen, adjustable flapping distance and an automatic stop function. The PBH40T is the non-heating, non-UV version of the PBH40T/PBH80T series.

3. Detailed Product Description

Product Overview

The PBH40T Paddle Blender Homogenizer is a laboratory sample-preparation instrument designed primarily for microbiological applications where samples need to be blended and homogenized in a sterile bag without direct contact between the sample and the homogenizer.

The system is specified for sample volumes from 4 mL to 400 mL and uses paddle movement to process samples inside a sterile homogeneous bag. The adjustable flapping speed ranges from 3.0 to 12.0 squeezing cycles per second, while the flapping distance can be adjusted from 0 to 50 mm.

The PBH40T features a 4.3-inch touchscreen, programmable speed and time settings, storage for 8 programs, a transparent viewing window and an automatic stop function. It is constructed with stainless steel and an anticorrosive plastic-sprayed finish.

Unlike the PBH80T, the PBH40T does not include heating or UV sterilization.
