MP Biomedicals FastPrep-24 5G high-speed benchtop homogeniser

The FastPrep-24 5G high-speed benchtop homogeniser offers both speed and performance for the lysis of biological samples. It can be used for the simultaneous homogenisation of up to 24 samples in 40 s.

The instrument uses an optimised motion to disrupt cells through the multidirectional, simultaneous beating of specialised Lysing Matrix beads on the sample material. Developed for difficult and resistant samples, the FastPrep-24 5G lyses thoroughly and quickly any tissues and cells and thus allows easy and reproducible isolation of stable RNA, active proteins and full-length genomic DNA.

The touch screen, software-based interface includes a wide range of predefined programs designed for optimal setting of routinely run sample types.

The homogeniser features nine interchangeable adapters enabling versatility in sample number, size and temperature conditions. All optional adapters stand stable on the benchtop and are commonly used as tube racks for sample storage at -20 or -80°C. Frozen Lysing Matrix tubes loaded in the adapters are ready to be immediately processed in the FastPrep-24 5G with minimal hands-on manipulation.

A wide range of specialised Lysing Matrix tubes containing beads of different materials, sizes and shapes have been tailored to ensure thorough homogenisation of any sample. High-performance purification kits, when used in conjunction with the FastPrep-24 5G, provide simple, ready-to-use methods for the release and subsequent purification of DNA, RNA and proteins.
