Description

A laboratory mill that cool unconventional materials to cryogenic temperatures and pulverizes them to a powder form without thermal degradation. This uses a dual electromagnetic, grinding chamber that rapidly drives a steel impactor back and forth against the two end plugs of the sample vial. Since the vial is securely closed the integrity of its contents is maintained, hazardous or critical samples are easily controlled, and cross-sample contamination is eliminated. The sample chemical composition is preserved as a result of the vials being immersed in liquid nitrogen at cryogenic temperatures throughout the grinding process.
