Disposable Homogenizer BioMasher - The best way to homogenize your samples!
BioMasher - I
- Two types of pestle (with O-ring or without O-ring) are available. To avoid spill of liquid infectious samples, it is good for using "with O-ring" pestle.
- For soft tissue samples:
- Put samples into filter cup and insert pestle. Then centrifuge at 10,000 to15,000 x g for 10 to 30 sec.
- For hard tissue samples:
- The tip of pestle has " + " shape blade. This makes it possible to grind samples (which are difficult to be homogenized by only centrifuge) by pushing and twisting pestle.
BioMasher - II
- The combination of texture both pestle and inside of tube, homogenization effeciency is highly increased.
- Centrifuge is not required.
- Put samples into tube and insert pestle. Grinding samples by pestle by hand or motorized rotater named "Power Masher II".
- Please see the handling video here.
BioMasher - III
- Technology of BioMasher- I and II are combined.
- Put samples into filter tube and insert pestle. Grinding samples by pestle by hand or motorized rotater named "Power Masher II". After that, centrifuge at 6,000 to 10,000 x g for 10 to 30 sec.
- Please see the handling video from here.
BioMasher - IV
- Homogenizing samples by automated sample disrupter unit (i.e. FastPrep system or similar products) by using Zirconia beads.
- This system is suitable for bacteria, yeast and cultured cell samples.
Option
" Power Masher II"
This is a Pestle Motor for BioMasher II & III. It needs two (size) AA batteries (Accessories).

Comparison of RNA extraction efficiency among BioMasher I, II, and III
[Method]
RNA was extracted from various organs of a mouse (Crlj:CD1 [ICR]: Adult mouse of 8 weeks or older) using BioMasher I-III according to the attached protocol. As a control, RNA was extracted by using a pestle of SSI and a 1.5 mL tube of TreffLab.
[Results]
The results are summarized below.
| Tissue | RNA Extraction Ratio (RNA (μg)/Sample (mg)) | |||
| BioMasher I | BioMasher II | BioMasher III | Pestle/SSI & | |
| 1.5 mL tube/TreffLab | ||||
| Liver | 1 | 1.5 | 1.32 | 0.92 |
| Kidney | 0.26 | 1.87 | 4.66 | 0.15 |
| Cerebrum | 0.16 | 1.14 | - | 0.12 |
| Spleen | 0.15 | 5.53 | - | 0.36 |
| Heart | 0.08 | 1.02 | 0.5 | 0.12 |
| Tail | 0.03 | 0.43 | - | 0.16 |
| Muscle | 0.02 | 0.8 | 0.24 | 0.43 |
*Choose appropriate model of BioMasher for the maximum extraction ratio of RNA depending on tissue type.
