Stomachers

A Stomacher is a laboratory device used for the rapid and hygienic homogenisation of solid samples—such as food, tissue or environmental material—by blending them within sterile, sealed bags. Widely used in microbiology, food safety testing, and pharmaceutical quality control, Stomachers effectively release microorganisms or analytes into suspension without contaminating the sample or equipment. By using paddle action to massage the sample through the bag, these systems ensure consistent, reproducible results while eliminating the need for direct contact or clean-up. Stomacher homogenisers are essential for preparing samples for pathogen detection, microbial enumeration, DNA/RNA extraction, and chemical analysis, supporting safe and efficient workflows in research, clinical, and industrial laboratories.
