BeadBeater-Type Homogenizers

The best method for disruption of microbial cells (1mg - 80g wet weight) and small tissue samples (0.1- 400 milligram).  When using PCR techniques, this homogenization method maximizes nucleic acid extraction yields and insures "zero" cross-contamination between multiple samples.

  Rotor/Stator Homogenizers

For tissue disruption in the 0.5 to 50 g (wet weight) range.  Very fast and does not generate heat. Not recommended for monocellular material such as bacteria or yeast.

Also excellent for making oil-water emulsions

Ultrasonic Homogenizer

A traditional method for homogenizing microorganisms and soft tissue.  Our Sonozap is unique in its ability to handle very small samples in volumes of 0.3-5 ml of extraction media.  Heat formation must be aggressively controlled when sonicating small samples.
