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".
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.
