Sample assessment
The yeast beta-glucan charge was small relative to its 150 g ball loading. The requested endpoint was timed preparation rather than a size limit. The laboratory test record documents this preparation only; applying the method to another batch requires a matched trial.
Recorded objective
Process the powder for 30 minutes; no numerical size limit is stated.
Equipment and selection
The recorded planetary machine is XQM. The corresponding TENCAN family is the Vertical Planetary Ball Mill. The jar volume identifies the test container and does not establish an exact machine variant or production capacity. Equipment association follows the recorded machine designation.
Test setup
| Recorded planetary machine | XQM |
|---|---|
| Documented setup | 100 mL zirconia jar; 150 g of 3 mm zirconia balls; 15 g sample; dry milling; speed setting 700. |
| Recorded operating cycle | Not stated |
Speed values are reproduced as recorded settings. A rotational unit and planetary-disc versus jar-speed basis are not stated, so these numbers are not labelled rpm.
Recorded procedure and results
After 30 minutes of dry planetary milling, the sampled material measured D50 = 51.45 µm and D90 = 100.73 µm. The test record supplies no starting distribution, temperature or analytical test of biological activity.
Interpretation
The article documents the particle distribution obtained at the requested processing time. It supports an initial preparation method for this material, without proving a reduction factor or preservation of a functional property.
Practical precautions
Define any biological-activity or purity requirement independently of the particle-size test. Reproduce the media mass and sample loading, and log temperature in a repeat trial because the source provides no thermal profile.
TENCAN alternatives to evaluate
For follow-up comparison, consider the TENCAN Omnidirectional Planetary Ball Mill. For yeast beta-glucan, a matched QXQM trial can test whether changing orientation affects the beta-glucan distribution at 30 minutes. Keep sample mass, media and sampling times controlled. This is a proposed comparison; the test record does not demonstrate a superior result for that alternative. Confirm jar compatibility and the permitted complete loaded mass before selecting a configuration.
Procedure records XQM; related product is the corresponding tested machine family. Exact variant is not inferred from jar size.
