上海淨信Cryogenic Tissue Grinder

A specialized laboratory device designed to pulverize and homogenize biological samples, such as tissues, cells, or plant material, at cryogenic temperatures (typically using liquid nitrogen). This process ensures the preservation of biomolecules like DNA, RNA, proteins, and metabolites, which are prone to degradation at higher temperatures or during traditional grinding methods.

• For cryogenic grinding of samples to inhibit nucleic acid degradation and retain protein activity
• Samples in a fully enclosed state, no cross-contamination
• Adjustable cooling function from -50oC to room temperature
• Discharge size: ~ 5µm

Bertin Technologies Precellys 24 Touch Homogenizer

Precellys® 24 Touch is the ideal lab instrument to homogenize any kind of biological sample, from the softest to the hardest, regardless of its origin. It can treat up to 24 samples at a time and has been validated on more than 1,500 different samples: from brain, muscle and heart samples, to very hard material such as bones, hair and seeds. With its powerful 3D movement, Precellys® 24 Touch provides high energy to the beads contained in the tubes, allowing the homogenization of the samples in a few seconds (~30 sec) at speeds ranging from 4500 to 6800 rpm. Samples can then be processed for further analysis amongst a wide variety of techniques dedicated to DNA/RNA (PCR, electrophoresis, NGS, chips, etc), protein (blotting, mass spectrometry, etc.), or metabolites analyses (chromatography, etc.)
