Powerful, Quick, Simple, and Benchtop

Cryogenic Mill “IQ MILL-2070”

NEW~ Intelligent Quick-Mill ~Perfect for pretreatment of hard-to-grind polymers- Specifically designed for grinding, agitating, and dispersing various samples In sample pretreatment, grinding samples into fine powders
is a time-consuming and labor-intensive task. The newly
developed IQ MILL-2070 is a device that makes grinding asimple process. Especially in microanalysis, pulverizing
samples is a required pretreatment for sample uniformity,homogeneity, and reproducibility.

Various methods have been devised, but they have problems
such as a large amount of liquid nitrogen consumption,
grinding time of more than ten minutes and a noise level of
90 dB during that time. The "IQ MILL-2070" is a benchtop
grinding, agitating, and dispersing device that uses a special
high elastic belt to achieve a rapid reciprocating torsionalmotion* to solve these problems.
*Japanese Patent: 7064786

IQ MILL-2070
MILL-2070
1. Easy to use and simple to operate

Smart quiet design●Grinding samples by simple operationRequired settings are only: grinding speed, grinding time, number ofcycles, and waiting time. The settings can be easily done with the rotaryknob and touch panel.

2. Fast and efficient grinding●Milling up to three samples at a time in the same program
Equipped with a holder that holds up to three sample containers for
efficient grinding.
●Powerful impact and shear crushing capabilities bring significant
reduction in grinding time
Rapid reciprocating torsional motion enables sample grinding in a shortperiod of time.

3. Liquid nitrogen cooling kit for cryo-milling● A compact design in which only the sample container can beprecooled with liquid nitrogen before grinding.
The minimum liquid nitrogen consumption is only about 300 mL forenergy saving. The kit contains a cooling container and cooling holder.
●Grindable at room temperature without cooling.
