Seward’s Stomacher® 400 EVO laboratory blender provides a quiet, easy, and dependable preparation of food samples.

It was announced together with Stomacher® 400 ECO sample preparation bags at Analytica in 2016.

The Stomacher 400 EVO is engineered and designed to make it easy-to-use, almost silent in operation, and provides a rugged and dependable day-to-day performance.

Laboratories can save up to 25% on consumables by using the Seward Stomacher 400 EVO with the new Stomacher ECO bags, which use significantly less plastic, save waste, are economical, and are eco-friendly.

With proven reliability and durability over 40 years, Seward Stomacher blenders are used to prepare more than eight million food samples in 150 countries. The Seward Stomacher 400 EVO combines these high-quality attributes with improved features that make it even easier to use, easier to clean, and extremely quiet.

The unique, one-touch bag loading system means operators just need to place the bag in the loading slot. By pushing the start button, the bag is sealed and blending begins. Together with the ‘no-fuss’ programmable screen display, operators can process samples quickly and efficiently.

The Seward Stomacher 400 EVO’s rubber base, together with a host of design and engineering developments, helps to eliminate bench movements and ensure almost silent operation, which reduces stress and disruptions to other lab work. A removable drip tray means that any spillages during the day can be quickly cleaned, and the paddle chamber can be easily opened and for thorough cleaning, making the complete chamber accessible.

Seward’s managing director Dan Crothers said: "With our new Seward Stomacher 400 EVO, we have completely re-thought how we can better support the food sample preparation process, offering real value to laboratories while keeping true to our commitment to quality, reliability, and performance.

"So, together with these new features, we offer a three year warranty as standard, meaning labs can be sure of their return on investment. In addition, labs can save on on-going costs with the Stomacher 400 ECO bags. By using less plastic in our ECO bags we can offer up to a 25% saving over standard Stomacher bags, which for some labs means that the system can pay for itself in as little as a year."
