25 mL Stainless Steel Grinding Jar, Set of 2

The IPD9600-25S is the 25 mL stainless steel grinding jar set for the Benchmark Industrial IPD9600 BeadBlaster 96 Ball Mill Homogenizer — sold as set of 2 jars. The 25 mL stainless steel jar is the mid-volume sample-vessel format in the BeadBlaster 96 ecosystem, sized between the smaller per-tube workflows (2 mL, 50 mL) and the larger 50 mL jars (IPD9600-50S). Set of 2 is workflow-mandatory — the BeadBlaster 96 chassis runs two sample positions simultaneously, requiring matched-pair jars for balanced operation.

IPD9600 Grinding Jar Family — Material × Volume Matrix

Material selection rationale:

Why a Pair-Set — Chassis-Balanced Operation

The BeadBlaster 96 chassis runs two sample positions simultaneously during the bead-mill cycle. Imbalanced loading (e.g., one full jar + one empty position) causes:

• Excessive chassis vibration during high-rpm operation
• Reduced homogenization efficiency at the loaded position
• Long-term chassis bearing wear from imbalanced load

The pair-set ensures matched jars at both positions for balanced chassis operation. Workflow protocol: load both jars equivalently (same bead count, similar sample mass / volume) for optimal homogenization performance.

Replaceable Gasket Maintenance

The 25 mL stainless steel jar uses a replaceable gasket (IPD9600-25G, each at $19) to seal the jar lid during the bead-mill cycle. Gasket service life depends on:

• Workflow chemistry aggressiveness — corrosive samples shorten gasket life
• Cycle count — high-throughput facilities consume gaskets faster
• Cleaning protocol rigor — proper between-cycle cleaning extends life

Plan for periodic gasket replacement as part of the long-term IPD9600-25S workflow inventory.

Application Profile

Mid-volume tough-tissue homogenization — environmental samples, forensic samples, food samples for QuEChERS prep at the 25 mL scale.

Bone fragment grinding (mid-volume) — forensic / clinical-research workflows where 25 mL jar volume fits the sample size.

Cannabis sample prep at mid-volume — homogenization of 5–25 mL cannabis samples.

Method-development workflows — protocol-development workflows where 25 mL jar provides representative sample volume for method validation.

Multi-investigator shared chassis — facilities running mixed jar / plate / tube workflows benefit from the 25 mL jar inventory for mid-volume operations.

Industrial / mechanochemistry workflows — chemical reactions induced by mechanical energy at the 25 mL jar scale.

Ordering & Configuration

Pair with grinding ball. 25 mL jar workflow typically uses 1-3 grinding balls per jar at 10-15 mm sizes (sister IPD9600-10BS / -15PTFB / -15ZOB family).

Pair with replacement gaskets. Plan for periodic IPD9600-25G procurement based on workflow throughput.
