Automated Homogenizer – ToronAH™ 40
Automated Homogenizer systems help labs standardize wet-sample prep for residue and contaminant testing. ToronAH™ 40 is a high-throughput automated homogenizer designed to replace manual solvent adding and homogenization steps while improving consistency and throughput.
The entire homogenization workflow runs automatically, including solvent adding and cutter cleaning, and it can process up to 32 samples per batch for faster, more repeatable sample preparation.
Automated Homogenizer – ToronAH™ 40 Applications
- Food safety testing (pesticide & veterinary drug residues): Built for routine sample pre-treatment workflows used in pesticide and veterinary drug residue analysis across common food matrices.
- Agricultural & livestock products: Supports prep of complex matrices such as meat, eggs, and milk where consistent homogenization is essential before instrument analysis.
- High-water-content samples: Suitable for vegetables such as leeks, spinach, and celery that typically require robust wet homogenization.
- High-fat-content samples: Handles fatty matrices like meat, sausage, and fish where uniform blending impacts extraction repeatability.
- High-fiber samples: Supports feed testing workflows where dense, fibrous samples can be difficult to homogenize consistently.

Automated Homogenizer – ToronAH™ 40 Key Features
- Fully automated workflow: Automates solvent adding, homogenization, and cutter cleaning for unattended operation and reduced hands-on time.
- High throughput, batch processing: Processes up to 32 samples in one batch to improve sample-prep efficiency.
- Low residue, reduced cross-contamination risk: Flexible cleaning methods can be combined to help minimize cross-contamination between samples.
- Strong tube/vial compatibility: Multiple racks are available, and the system is compatible with conventional centrifuge vials for flexibility across methods.
- Safer, fume-hood-friendly design: Designed to save space in a fume hood and help reduce organic-solvent exposure to the lab environment.
- Clear visibility during operation: Transparent front door and built-in LED lights support easy observation of the process.
- Built-in safety monitoring: Safety alarm supports abnormal-condition alerts such as cutter mis-position, motor overheat, and sample overload.
- Easy software operation: Graphical software interface supports both experienced and first-time operators.
