Grinding biomass into a fine powder for downstream analysis is needed to investigate plant physiology. Labman have manufactured a number of these systems, and this latest system takes our room-temperature grinding systems to a whole new level.

The system picks an input tube and places it into the grinder. The grinding module shakes the tube causing the ball bearings to pulverize the contained plant sample. After grinding, the system then de-clogs and pierces the input tube and places it into the feeding station.
