The Omni LH 96 is a purpose-built homogenizer workstation designed to support laboratories that manage high volumes of sample preparation. It automates key steps in the process, including homogenization, pipetting, liquid handling, weighing, and sample transfer. With a compact footprint, this system helps preserve valuable bench space while delivering consistent, repeatable performance.
Using 8 independent 40-watt brushless motors, the LH 96 maintains processing speed accuracy within ±1%. Its integrated software allows for protocol customisation through a straightforward graphical user interface (GUI), enabling tailored workflows with minimal manual oversight.
The system is compatible with a range of generator probes, including single-use Omni Tip plastic probes and reusable stainless-steel or hybrid probes that can be cleaned automatically using the built-in ultrasonic bath.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs): Omni LH 96 Automated Homogenizer Workstation
Q: What types of samples can the LH 96 process?
A: The system supports a broad range of biological samples including tissues and cells, with volumes from 250 µL to 40 mL.
Q: Can I use both disposable and reusable probes?
A: Yes. The LH 96 accepts both Omni Tip™ disposable probes and reusable stainless steel or hybrid probes, the latter of which can be decontaminated using the built-in ultrasonic bath.
Q: Is temperature control supported?
A: Yes. The system can be configured with passive or active cooling modules for temperature-sensitive workflows.
Q: How are workflows managed?
A: Users can create and save custom protocols via the interactive GUI, allowing repeatable, automated sample preparation with minimal manual oversight.
Q: How does the LH 96 prevent cross-contamination?
A: Through the use of single-use tips or automated ultrasonic cleaning of reusable probes, cross-contamination risks are minimized.
