Abstract
The invention relates to a device for the mixing, homogenizing, extraction, or slurrying of materials, in particular infectious, or malodorous or chemically-aggressive materials () in a laboratory test vessel () which may be hermetically sealed with a lid (). A stirrer element () is provided in the lid () for processing of the material () placed in the laboratory test vessel (), with the stirrer element being connected to a coupling piece (). Cutting and/or crushing elements () arranged directly adjacent to cutting edges () on a retainer sleeve (), comminute the material. The stirrer element () is a hollow cylinder () and is provided with a central sealing cap () such that the homogenate () can be manually or automatically diluted or pipetted from the laboratory test vessel () by means of a pipette or a needle or disposable tip without removing the disposable lid (), or analyzed with a sensor or heated or cooled by means of a heating or cooling bar.
