[Description of Prior Art] In biology, medicine, and other research fields, it is necessary to separate intracellular Golgi bodies, organelles such as mitochondria, and other enzymes. To do this, cells must be disrupted by some means, but conventional cell membrane disruption devices use ultrasonic waves, apply pressure with high-pressure nitrogen gas, etc., and rapidly remove this pressure. There are also methods that crush cell membranes by applying pressure to the cell fluid using a hydraulic machine and passing it through pores, called the Botta type. Methods of dividing cells by applying motion, and methods of rotating a pestle inside a tubular container using an existing rotary machine have also been used.

Therefore, this apparatus has a simple structure and can be manufactured at low cost, and can perform emulsification work continuously and efficiently to obtain a high-quality emulsion. In addition, when you remove the device to clean, replace or repair the container or pestle, such as when moving on to the next task, you can easily remove the mounting bracket of the container and disengage the clip of the coupling. This has the advantage that the container and pestle can be taken out.
