High Speed Homogenizer Consfly RCD-1A Disperser with 13mm/18mm Heads

Description

Product Overview

The Consfly RCD-1A is a high speed homogenizer engineered for demanding laboratory environments where precision, speed, and reliability are essential. Operating at 110V, this unit combines a robust internal suction homogenate structure with a powerful motor to achieve rapid dispersion, emulsification, and extraction of trace organic compounds, lipid solutes, and soluble organic materials. The device features two interchangeable working heads—one with a 13 mm diameter and another with an 18 mm diameter—allowing users to tailor the homogenization process to sample size and viscosity. Constructed from durable, chemically resistant materials, the RCD-1A ensures long‑term performance even under continuous operation. The PTFE component inside each working head is designed for easy removal, rinsing, and replacement, simplifying routine maintenance and extending the instrument’s service life. With a compact footprint of 18 × 13 × 10.75 inches and a weight of 11.15 lb, the homogenizer fits comfortably on most lab benches while providing the power needed for high‑throughput workflows.

Usage

The RCD-1A excels in a wide range of laboratory applications, from molecular biology to analytical chemistry. Researchers can use it to homogenize animal tissues, plant material, and microbial cultures, effectively breaking cell membranes to release DNA, RNA, proteins, and metabolites. The dual‑head system enables precise control over shear forces, making it suitable for delicate samples that require gentle processing as well as tougher specimens that demand higher mechanical energy. Typical use cases include sample preparation for chromatography, spectroscopic analysis, and downstream enzymatic assays. The unit’s 110V power requirement aligns with standard laboratory electrical infrastructure, and its ergonomic design allows operators to work comfortably for extended periods. After each run, the working head should be detached, rinsed with clean water, and dried, ensuring consistent performance and preventing cross‑contamination between samples.

FAQ

What types of samples can the RCD-1A process?

The homogenizer is suitable for animal tissues, plant material, microbial cultures, and even hard‑to‑break samples such as seeds or fibrous plant parts. By selecting the appropriate head size, users can optimize shear forces for each sample type.

How often should the PTFE component be replaced?

The PTFE part is considered a consumable. For routine laboratory use, it typically lasts several months before performance degradation is noticeable. Users should inspect the component regularly and replace it when wear or residue buildup affects homogenization efficiency.

Is the RCD-1A compatible with standard laboratory power supplies?

Yes, the unit operates on a standard 110 V AC supply, making it compatible with most laboratory electrical setups without the need for additional transformers or converters.

Can the homogenizer be used for sterile applications?

While the RCD-1A is not a sterile device, it can be incorporated into sterile workflows by thoroughly cleaning and sterilizing the working heads between uses. The PTFE material tolerates standard sterilization procedures such as autoclaving when removed from the head assembly.

What support is available if I encounter an issue?
