The RETSCH 207150001 Mixer Mill MM 400 is a compact and versatile bench-top unit that offers a wide range of grinding capabilities. Whether you need to perform dry, wet, or cryogenic grinding of small sample amounts, this mixer mill can handle it all. In just a few seconds, it can mix and homogenize powders and suspensions, making it ideal for various applications.
Not only can it effectively grind and mix different materials, but it is also suitable for disrupting biological cells, as well as extracting DNA/RNA and proteins. Its high-performance and great flexibility make it a unique product in the market, providing you with the functionality you need for your laboratory or research work.
Please note that accessories such as grinding jars and balls need to be ordered separately, as they are not included with the mixer mill. However, these additional components are readily available for purchase.
If you're interested in a mill that offers high energy input, you might also want to consider the High Energy Ball Mill Emax. This mill introduces an entirely new type of grinding, combining high friction and impact to produce extremely fine particles in the shortest amount of time.
The function principle of the MM 400 involves the grinding jars performing radial oscillations in a horizontal position. The inertia of the grinding balls causes them to impact with high energy on the sample material, resulting in pulverization. The movement of the grinding jars, combined with the movement of the balls, also ensures intensive sample mixing. The degree of mixing can be further increased by using smaller balls, which is particularly useful for disrupting biological cells.
The MM 400 can be used for a wide range of applications, including grinding and homogenization of alloys, animal feed, bones, ceramics, cereals, chemicals, electronic scrap, glass, grains, hair, minerals, oil seeds, ores, paper, plant materials, plastics, sewage sludge, soils, straw, tablets, textiles, tissue, tobacco, waste samples, wood, wool, and more.
With its reproducible and efficient grinding, mixing, and homogenization capabilities, the MM 400 can save you time and effort in your laboratory work. It offers powerful grinding through impact and friction, with the option to choose between dry, wet, or cryogenic grinding modes. The screw-top grinding jars ensure leak-proof grinding, and you can store up to 9 standard operating procedures (SOPs).
To further enhance its functionality, the MM 400 is compatible with a wide range of accessories, including various jar and ball sizes, adapter racks for single-use vials and tubes, different grinding tool materials, and the CryoKit. Additionally, it offers efficient cell disruption of up to 240 ml cell suspension for DNA/RNA and protein extraction.

Function Principle
The grinding jars of the MM 400 perform radial oscillations in a horizontal position. The inertia of the grinding balls causes them to impact with high energy on the sample material at the rounded ends of the grinding jars and pulverize it. Also, the movement of the grinding jars combined with the movement of the balls result in the intensive mixing of the sample. The degree of mixing can be increased even further by using several smaller balls. If several small balls are used (e.g. glass beads) then, for example, biological cells can be disrupted. The large frictional impact effects between the beads ensure effective cell disruption.
Application Examples
alloys, animal feed, bones, ceramics, cereals, chemical products, coal, coke, drugs, electronic scrap, glass, grains, hair, minerals, oil seeds, ores, paper, plant materials, plastics, sewage sludge, soils, straw, tablets, textiles, tissue, tobacco, waste samples, wood, wool, ...
