@Soxhlet cause it makes more sense here…
Waring actually makes itty bitty blenders for lab use, and I’ve used them in a number of settings…but I like my Osters better.
I spent almost 10 years working with a lab that studied chloroplast gene-expression, and their chloroplast prep SOP included a Waring with a set of 4 single edge razor blades instead of the stock blades. I believe it was made in the machine shop at the Max Planck, but it might have been a local copy of their design. The blades had to be swapped every couple of preps. In addition to my many other functions, I was one of two guys who were willing/allowed to swap the blades out…
The lab did explore other solutions, eg a Tekmar Tissumizer, which is pretty similar to the high shear homogenizers @CATScientific would like us all to have in out tool-kits. The blender of death did a better job.
