Tissue Grinding Machine
High-Performance Laboratory Tissue Homogenization & Grinding System
Athena Instruments introduces the Tissue Grinding Machine (AT-UTH-02), an advanced and precision-engineered laboratory instrument designed for rapid grinding, crushing, mixing, and disruption of biological and other sample materials. Developed for efficient sample preparation, the machine enables the extraction and purification of DNA, RNA, and proteins from a wide range of sources, including animal and plant tissues, microorganisms, environmental samples, food products, and pharmaceutical materials.
Featuring an advanced dual-slide vertical oscillation mechanism, the AT-UTH-02 ensures efficient and uniform sample processing with enhanced grinding stability. Its fully enclosed grinding chamber allows independent movement of samples, helping minimize cross-contamination while maintaining consistent processing performance. With the capability to process up to 24 samples in as little as 1 minute, it is an
ideal solution for research laboratories, biotechnology facilities, pharmaceutical industries, and molecular biology applications.
Equipped with a 7-inch OLED touchscreen, programmable multi-stage grinding operation, and adjustable grinding speeds ranging from 500 to 2300 rpm, the AT-UTH-02 offers flexibility, precision, and convenience for demanding laboratory workflows.

Additional Technical Highlights
Standard Sample Capacity
24 × 2 ml tubes.
Optional Adaptor Configurations
96 × 2 ml, 48 × 2 ml, 32 × 2 ml, 16 × 5 ml, 8 × 10 ml, 2 × 15 ml, 2 × 25 ml, and 2 × 50 ml.
Grinding Balls
Standard stainless steel grinding balls supplied in two configurations: 3 mm × 800 pieces
and 5 mm × 200 pieces.
Grinding Speed
Adjustable operating speed from 500 to 2300 rpm.
Processing Flexibility
Dry, wet, and low-temperature grinding modes to accommodate different sample
