The MM 500 control is a high energy laboratory ball mill that can be used for dry, wet and cryogenic grinding with a frequency of up to 30 Hz. It is the first mixer mill in the market that allows to monitor and control the temperature of a grinding process.
The temperature area covers a range from - 100 to 100 °C and is a optional feature that is offered in maximum versatility. The mill can be operated with various thermal fluids, allowing to use a large number of tempering devices for cooling or heating.
If liquid nitrogen is chosen for cooling, the mill needs to be extended with the optionally available extension device cryoPad. The innovative cryoPad technology allows to select and control a specific cooling temperature in the range from - 100 to 0 °C for the grinding process.
Features include:
- Continuous temperature monitoring throughout a grinding process
- Cooling and heating in a range from - 100 to 100 °C
- Operation is possible with liquid nitrogen or other thermal fluid
- Fast and comfortable sample processing with two screw lock jars of up to 125 ml each
- Wide range of accessories available, including ventilation lids and heavy-metal-free grinding jars (also for cryogenic grinding)
Important consideration for biological sample preparation

Advancements in sample preparation: From cell disruption to homogenization and pulverization of biological samples
In this application note, RETSCH GmbH discusses the importance of sample preparation for various biological materials. RETSCH offers a range of mills and grinders for pulverization, cell disruption, and homogenization of biological samples. The note highlights the use of RETSCH mills for applications such as cell disruption of yeasts, microalgae, and bacteria, homogenization of soft and tough samples like sputum or liver, cryogenic grinding, and pulverization of forensic samples.
Temperature-controlled preparation of biochemical samples
In this application note, explore how the Mixer Mill MM 500 control is being used for the preparation of biochemical samples. This new instrument has the possibility to carry out temperature-controlled sample processing with two grinding stations for screw-lock sample vessels and a vibration frequency of up to 30 Hz. Retsch presents the use of the Mixer Mill MM 500 control in an application example of the cell disruption process of a global pharmaceutical and diagnostics company.
