Seward Stomacher Lab Blenders work by using paddles, which apply pressure to a sample within a sterile, disposable sample bag. Contents are blended and homogenized, effectively washing out deep-seated organisms. Laboratory samples can be collected, transported, processed and disposed of without ever being handled. To ensure optimum blending, it is recommended that Seward Stomacher Bags are used.
Stomacher Model 400C
Stomacher Model 400C has a new paddle design* that homogenizes by a combination of crushing and stirring. When the door is closed, curved paddles, an island baffle inside the door chamber, and round bottom Stomacher Bags mold the bag contents into a tubular ring. In operation, the paddles crush the sample and circulate the suspended debris and diluent providing complete homogenization of the sample.
