Invention relates to material breaking or milling devices for ultra-fine milling of materials. A material breaking device comprises a frame structure (1) with an upper bracket (1A) and a lower bracket (1B); a tubular housing (4) arranged between said brackets (1A, 1B). The tubular housing (4) is attached to said frame structure (1) in rotatable manner such that the tubular housing (4) rotates relative to the frame structure (1). The material breaking device further comprises at least one conical distributor (5) arranged in the tubular housing (4) and at least one outlet cone (7) arranged in the tubular housing (4) downstream from the conical distributor (5). The device further comprises a permanent magnet unit (9) attached to the tubular housing (4) such that at least two permanent magnet units (9) are provided for each milling chamber (6, 8) for creating rotating magnetic field within the milling chambers (6, 8).

Disclosed herein are devices, apparatuses, and methods for grinding of samples. A method includes securing a sample vial in a holder attached to a connecting linkage, the sample vial having a grinding media in the sample vial. The method includes rotating a crank that is operatively coupled to a proximal end of the connecting linkage at a proximal pivot point so that the proximal pivot point undergoes rotational motion. The method includes restricting a distal pivot point of the connecting linkage to a linear path, the distal pivot point near a distal end of the connecting linkage. A result being that the sample vial undergoes a combination of rotational and linear motion.

A device module for a laboratory device is shown and described. The device module has at least one temperature control medium connection for connecting the device module, as required, to a temperature control medium supply of, in particular, a liquid or gaseous temperature control medium, at least one line connection for connecting, as required, to at least one supply line of the laboratory device for the temperature control medium, and at least one actuator of a control process and/or control loop for controlling and/or regulating at least one temperature in the laboratory device.

The disclosure is directed to a sample preparation apparatus for grinding or homogenizing test samples. More specifically, the disclosure relates to grinding samples using rotational and linear motion. Grinding samples can be accomplished with an apparatus with a slider-crank mechanism that is attached to an oscillating connecting linkage. The amplitude of oscillatory motion can be greater than or equal to a length of a sample processing chamber.
