Ball mills are the all-rounders used for the milling and homogenization of a broad range of samples prior to analysis. They are advantageous for bringing samples into a homogenous pulverized state and preparing them perfectly for either additional sample preparation steps like extraction, digestion, and filtration, and/or for subsequent analysis like XRF spectroscopy. They are used for dry, wet, or cryogenic grinding depending on the source material’s state. They cover inorganic as well as organic and biological samples in different feed sizes.
