Enabling Progress – under the umbrella of Verder Scientific, the manufacturing companies support thousands of customers worldwide in achieving a common goal: to enable progress – to the benefit of many.
With this in mind, RETSCH has launched the Scientific Challenge. This is aimed at all scientists working in research who use ball mills in their research projects.
In this way, we promote projects in the categories of green chemistry, materials science and life sciences but also welcome contributions from scientists working in other fields.
Ball mills make an important contribution to research due to their great versatility and enormous performance potential. They generate nanoparticles, disintegrate cells or help to produce new materials through mechanical synthesis.
The range of research applications for which RETSCH ball mills are used is versatile:
Our application experts, Dr. Lena Weigold and Dr. Gerhard Beckers, explain the benefits and capabilities of the RETSCH Ball Mills.
Do you work with ball mills as part of your research or do you know committed colleagues who use ball mills?
Then take the opportunity to participate in the Scientific Challenge. We are looking for projects that help to enable progress - this can be in areas like life sciences, material sciences or green chemistry but we are open to contributions from all fields.
Our expert team will select the three most promising projects among all submissions to be awarded with a brand-new planetary ball mill or mixer mill with grinding jars. Even if your project is not among the first three, you still have the chance to receive one of six RETSCH goods vouchers.
From cell disruption to nano grinding: our range of ball mills is unrivaled throughout the world.
Mixer Mill MM 400
Dry, wet and cryogenic grinding of up to 2 x 20 ml of sample.
Planetary Ball Mill PM 300
Grinding down to the nanometer range of up to 2 x 220 ml of sample.
