Glen Mills French Press G-M Homogenizer

French Press G-M® Homogenizer

The French Press G-M® is the gold standard in high-pressure cell lysis. With over 50 years of proven results, it delivers consistent and powerful homogenization, even with the toughest samples. Designed for research labs that demand performance and safety, this benchtop homogenizer generates pressures up to 40,000 psi for efficient disruption of resilient cells, with minimal sample loss.

Powerful Cell Disruption

• Ultra-High Pressure: Achieve up to 40,000 psi for maximum lysis efficiency
• Reproducible Results: Ideal for protein extraction, cell disruption, and sample prep
• Two Pressure Cell Options: Use the 35 ml standard cell or the 3.7 ml mini cell for small volumes

Built-In Safety Features

• Automatic stop prevents piston from contacting the pressure cell bottom
• The hydraulic pressure auto-releases in the full down stop position
• Integrated timer shuts off the motor if left running
• Emergency stop and lid hold-down mechanism for added protection

Easy to Use and Maintain

• Fully Assembled: Ships ready to operate—insert your pressure cell
• Simple Controls: Easy pressure adjustment, run/pause switch, and clear gauge with conversion chart
• Autoclavable Pressure Cells: Easy to clean and sanitize between runs
• Removable Components: Disassemble quickly for cleaning or part replacement

FAQs

Is the French Press G-M® motorized?
Yes, it is powered by an electric motor—no air required.

Can I use small samples in the 35 mL cell?
Yes, but around 1 ml remains in the cell post-run. For smaller volumes, use the 3.7 ml mini cell.

Are the pressure cells autoclavable?
Yes, and autoclaving is recommended after each use.

Do I need to assemble the unit?
No. The main unit ships fully assembled. Only the pressure cell is packed separately.

Does the gauge show the internal pressure?
Not directly. The front panel provides a conversion chart to calculate actual pressure based on cell size.
