Product description

The Retsch Swing Mill MM 400 is a high-performance mixer mill designed for dry, wet, and cryogenic grinding of a wide variety of sample types, including tablets, minerals, bones, tissues, soils, and plastics. Capable of achieving grind sizes down to 5 microns, the MM 400 features two grinding stations for high sample throughput and short processing times. For cryogenic applications, external cooling of the grinding jar makes the sample material brittle for effective grinding.
