The Freezer/Mills are programmable cryogenic laboratory mills that cool samples to cryogenic temperatures, then pulverizes them by magnetically shuttling a steel impactor back and forth against two stationary end plugs.

The Geno/Grinder® is a high-throughput homogenizer designed for effective cell disruption, lysis and tissue homogenization. It can be used with any brand Pesticide and DNA extraction kits. It processes cannabis plant tissue and cannabis buds in 16x 50 mL tubes or larger grinding jars up to 750 mL.

The Mixer/Mills are laboratory mills that pulverize small amounts of dry, brittle samples to analytical fineness. The vial, containing the sample and one or more grinding balls, is shaken in a figure-8 movement.
