MRC Labs SM-450 Series Laboratory Sample Mills

Product Description

MRC Labs SM series are high power laboratory sample mills with separate stainless steel grind container and high hardness steel blades, making it ideal for grinding tough, dry materials.  

Applications

Typical application for this high power sample grinder include:    

• Material Science: Sample preparation for X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray fluorescence (XRF), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM).
• Geology: Grinding rock samples for geochemical analysis, mineral separation, and petrography.
• Pharmaceuticals: Grinding drugs and drug intermediates for analytical and quality control purposes.
• Food Science: Grinding food samples for analysis of nutritional content, shelf-life, and sensory evaluation.
• Environmental Science: Grinding soil and sediment samples for analysis of pollutants, nutrients, and microorganisms.
• Agriculture: Grinding plant samples for analysis of nutrient content, plant diseases, and genetics.
• Forensic Science: Grinding trace evidence (e.g., hair, fibers, and paint chips) for analysis under a microscope.
• Polymers: Grinding polymer samples for analysis of molecular weight and distribution.
• Ceramics: Grinding ceramic samples for analysis of particle size, porosity, and composition.
• Metallurgy: Grinding metal samples for analysis of chemical composition, grain size, and microstructure.

Note that these are just some of the many applications for a high power laboratory sample grinder, and the specific uses may vary depending on the type of grinder and the user's needs.  While a stainless steel blade with a Rockwell Hardness of HRC55 degrees is a versatile sample grinder, however some applications may require more specialized blades or equipment. It is important to choose the appropriate tool for the specific sample preparation needs.
