Precellys 24 Homogenizer

Description

Precellys 24 Tissue Homogenizer System

The Bertin Precellys 24 Tissue Homogeniser is an easy handling, durable and reliable homogenizer dedicated to collecting DNA, RNA, proteins, or drugs. It guarantees an efficient homogenization with high yield and quality results compatible with all analysis methods.  The Precellys 24 Tissue Homogenizer was developed and designed to be a highly efficient grinder for use in Biosafety Level 3 (BSL-3) laboratories operating under high-throughput conditions (50-100 runs per day) without risk of cross-contamination. This bead-beating homogenizer can simultaneously grind up to 24tubes of 2 ml, only in a few seconds all in retaining molecular integrity while the single-use tubes prevent samples from any cross-contamination.

With beads and standard protocols specific to each application, a large range of biological samples can be ground, homogenized, or lysed with the Precellys 24 Homogenizer. Samples ranging from fragile micro-organisms and soft tissue such as liver, brain, and leaf, to hard tissues such as bones and hair can be crushed with 5 different sizes of beads (ceramic, metal, glass, zirconium oxide) to release the desired DNA, RNA, protein, drugs, etc.

The Precellys 24 Tissue Homogenizer by Bertin Technologies is built to endure today’s rugged lab use with a durable plastic case with a quick-connect locking lid for easy loading and unloading of samples. This tissue homogenizer can also be used with a wide range of lysis kits for dry grinding, micronization, lysis of microorganisms, homogenization of fresh cells, frozen tissue cells, and dissociation of living bacteria. A typical run for this lysing instrument takes about 30 seconds with large samples and nucleic acid along with proteins are entirely separated from the tissue cell.  Once the run is complete a quick centrifugation step is required to pellet the debris before using the sample.
