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.
