Homogenizers can be used to create a homogeneous suspension from the laboratory sample. This is achieved by the repetitive shearing and grinding motions, caused by the homogenizer. In biochemistry laboratories, this is applied to treat samples such as animal or plant tissues, fungi and bacteria. Homogenizers are also used for the preparation of cell extracts or for the release of nucleic acids from the sample.

Homogenizers are also used for fining and homogenization of tissues, either to create suspensions or emulsions. They can be used to suspend animal and plant tissues in liquids, prepare emulsions for homogenization of animal tissues, or freeze frozen tissue samples prior to processing.

Homogenizers ensure more accurate analysis results, avoiding errors due to possible residues or contamination of the sample. These devices are able to optimize working time by simplifying homogenization processes, which in turn decreases the number of working hours spent in performing an analysis. 

These devices not only ensure the accuracy of the analysis and the reduction of costs by reducing the labor time invested, but also contribute to personal safety by ensuring the homogenization processes, taking into account that the homogenizers, since they are not manually operated, avoid exposure to certain types of elements and materials that are hazardous to health. These devices have the ability to rupture cells to extract compounds of interest, thus allowing bioanalysts to perform more accurate and detailed analyses by simplifying complex samples.

A homogenizer is defined as a mechanical device that produces a processing of a material in the form of finer particles, has the ability to dissolve cell membranes and at the same time emulsify more viscous materials. This ultra-processing capability plays a very important role in the analysis of biological samples for biochemistry.

When preparing biological samples for study in a biochemistry laboratory, the use of a homogenizer is a good option, as it helps to dissolve the cell membranes with the consequent release of the organic compounds contained in the cells, allowing the user to perform extraction processes on biological materials. In addition, the homogenizer allows dissolving dense materials at an easily controllable speed and consistency.
