Hello,

I'd say it depends on the size of your samples to be ground.

If the volume is small, I'd settle for something like an IKA A-11 basic mill
<https://www.ika.com/en/Products-LabEq/Mills-pg194/A-11-basic-Analytical-mill-2900000/>
The volume of the beaker is either *80 or 250 ml*.

If the volume is larger, you need something like Retsch Grindomix GM300
with a cryogenic kit
<https://www.retsch.com/products/milling/knife-mills/gm-300/>
The jar volume is 250 to 1000 ml.

I hope this helps.
