Homogenisers are widely used in biological sample preparation to break up (or homogenise) samples. This makes it possible to more easily extract macro and micro molecules such as DNA, RNA and proteins for further use including PCR. There is a wide choice of homogenisers on the market, ranging from those suitable for processing large sample volumes of up to a couple of hundred millilitres (...
With a wide range of homogenisers available, from ultrasonic units, to mechanical models with rotor stator blades, through to bead ruptors, how do you select the model suitable for your samples? [caption id="attachment_8485" align="aligncenter" width="300"] Ultrasonic? Rotor Stator? Bead mill? Which homogeniser is best?[/caption] There is no one type which is "best" - it all depends on wh...

How do Ultrasonic Homogenisers Work?
Ultrasonic Cell Disrupters, also called Sonicators or Sonifiers® operate on a different principle than mechanical shear homogenizers. They are extremely effective on hard to disrupt samples and for producing smaller particle size distribution within a sample. Some of the samples that are typically sonicated or sonified are bacteria, spores, tough animal...
Thanks for sharing such a great information.. It really helpful to me.. I always search to read the quality content and finally i found this in you post. keep it up!
I came across your article about "DPD Tablets" on Camlab Info, and it's a valuable resource for anyone seeking information about water testing and analysis using DPD tablets. Your explanation of their usage and significance in water quality monitoring is quite informative.
This article on nanocolor tube tests is a gem for analytical enthusiasts. The idea of zero calibration is intriguing, and your detailed explanation makes it accessible. The step-by-step process helps demystify the technique for beginners like me. The use cases you've highlighted, particularly in...
Grant have introduced the new Controlled Rate Freeze Thaw (CRFT), which is a liquid nitrogen and cryogen free controlled rate freeze and thaw system for cryopreservation in a wide range of applications. Cryopreservation is a process where biological materials such as cells, tissues...
A dipslide is a means of testing the microbial content of liquids. This is a common method of monitoring and measuring microbial activity within many systems and commonly cooling systems. Usually the use of a dipslide is the first line of defence for the testing of microbial issues that could be...
Purchasing items using donated funds without the burden of VAT will now save many Millions of pounds each year which can be put to better use in advancing scientific knowledge to provide new treatments and cures that will shape the medicines of the future.
Working with pressure/vacuum conditions in the lab is common but not all products are designed to withstand this. Products with appropriate geometry and wall thickness are suitable for working safely with pressure. For example, filtering flasks, desiccators, or flat flange vessels, as well as...
