Freezer Mills

Laboratory freezer mills are specialised grinding instruments designed to pulverise samples at cryogenic temperatures. This unique milling technique involves cooling the samples using liquid nitrogen or dry ice, making them brittle and easier to grind. Freezer mills are particularly effective for processing tough or heat-sensitive materials, such as biological tissues, polymers, and pharmaceuticals, without compromising their structural integrity or composition. The cryogenic environment minimises heat generation during the grinding process, preventing degradation of sensitive compounds. These mills are widely used in research and quality control laboratories, facilitating the preparation of samples for various analyses, including DNA/RNA extraction, chemical analysis, and materials testing. By providing consistent and fine particle sizes, laboratory freezer mills enhance the efficiency and accuracy of experimental results.
