LABORATORY LINE
POLYTRON® PT 1200 E
Hand Disperser (Ecoline), dispersing devices for budget-conscious labs

THE EXPERT FOR YOUR LABORATORY
Since more than 60 years we are perfecting the rotor/
stator technology, working in close cooperation with
users and universities. When using our technology,
yourtest samples will be dispersed into homogeneous
systems. Depending on the type of samples
you will get homogeneous emulsions, dispersions or
suspensions. This is the best foundation for all subsequent
analyses or formulations.
ERGONOMICS
– Easy operation with an on-off switch and speed control
– Lightweight
– Intelligent variable speed control for long equipment life
– Low noise
– Height adjust stand (available as an option)
– Switch aggregate quickly with Click & Go coupling
– Easy aggregate clean-up with EasyClean Design
RESULTS ARE CONVINCING
– Smallest sizes of particles / droplets: because precise
analysis require homogeneous samples
– Efficient sample preparation: because fast dispersion
saves time
– Standard or custom-made aggregates: perfected for
and in cooperation with the users
– Cleaning and disassembly: EasyClean design makes
it very simple
– Quick coupling of the aggregates: by using Click & Go
– Best materials available: because without them,
we could not call it Swiss Made
– Durability is a Swiss virtue
This ergonomic hand disperser is lightweight and therefore ideal for rapid turnaround of smaller
sample volumes. The extensive range of dispersing aggregates covers a wide range of sample prepa-
ration applications.

THE PRINCIPLE
The spinning rotor generates a vacuum. The sample is drawn
in and discharged to the outside through the stator’s slots.
Between the rotor / stator (shear gap), the product is subject
to high deceleration-tangential and radial acceleration forces.
The individual particles /droplets are torn apart and thus
reduced in size; they are reducedto several micrometers in
size through additional cutting and crashing effects.
THE RESULT
Microscopic dispersions, emulsions, suspensions, and
foams are generated. Droplets, particles, and gas bubbles
are reduced to several micrometers or smaller. Small and
large substances are dispersed more economically, faster,
and better than with any other system.
Your samples are efficiently «POLYTRONIZED».
Who is the inventor of it?
The roots of today’s Kinematica began in the former chemical/physical research institute of Prof. P.
Willems in Lucerne, Switzerland, the inventor of the modern rotor/ stator dispersion technology.

STANDARD AGGREGATES (EC
DESIGN WITH TWO GEAR RINGS)
This is all you need for popular appli-
cations in the preparation of samples
and formulation development. The
cutting teeth embedded in the head of
the tool optimize the pre-crushing of
the sample. An enclosed ring design
provides optimum protection for those
teeth and prevents them from bending.
SPECIAL AGGREGATES (W, M, B,
SYN, Z & X DESIGN)
Specializations in the chemical,
pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and food
industry, as well as the life sciences,
makes new designs inevitable. These
aggregates are based on state-of-the-
art technology and only available from
Kinematica.
The highly specialized tool is subject
to further development that involves
close cooperation with our customers
and universities. Thus, it is continu-
ously perfected for specific applica-
tions.
MATERIALS
Whether you need a tool with
standard or special geometry, all
aggregates are manufactured from
high-alloy stainless steel 316L,
electrolytically polished and made in
Switzerland. Our synthetic aggregates
(SYN) are manufactured from the
highest quality materials available.
This guarantees their application at a
motor speed up to 30 000 rpm.
BEARINGS
All dispersing aggregates for the PT
1200 E are equipped with high-qual-
ity synthetic bearings. They exhibit
excellent mechanical properties and
chemical resistance. They are all FDA
approved.
CLEANING AND DISASSEMBLY
EasyClean: Our technology ensures
the simplest removal and fast clean-
ing, either by hand, dishwasher, or au-
toclave. Disassembling the precisely
fitting components is simple and fast.
LOCKING SYSTEM
All our POLYTRON® aggregates
are fitted with a high-precision quick-
release system: The Click & Go.
The high efficiency and the uniqueness of our POLYTRON® dispersing aggregate can only be
achieved through superior manufacturing precision and the sophisticated Kinematica design
method. This is 100 % Swiss Made.

THE PROBLEM
For normal cylindrical beakers, the flow creates a vortex.
The mixing and dispersing efficiency decreases considerably
since the product is no longer being optimally processed
through the dispersing generator head. This lengthens
processing times, requiring more energy input. Depending
on the shape of the vortex, this may also lead to additional
air being introduced.
THE SOLUTION
Our specially designed GS jars have a cloverleaf-like shape.
This effectively interrupts the flow in the radial direction and
generates additional counteracting forces. These high turbu-
lences maximize the mixing and dispersion efficiency, thus
minimizing processing time and requiring less energy.
THE SELECTION
Our GS-glasses are available in chemical- and tempera-
ture-resistant borosilicate glass or in stainless steel, with
working volumes from a few milliliters to several liters,
with or without lid and with or without sealed feedthrough.
Choosing the right dispersing aggregate is crucial for good results. The right vessel
also contibutes to achive the desired result.
