USTECH SamplePrep
High-speed bead-beating cell homogenizer for laboratory tissue lysis and extraction. Designed for sample preparation in downstream genomics, proteomics, and chemical analysis.
Consistent Sample Disruption in Seconds
Downstream assays like PCR, NGS, or mass spectrometry require thorough, reproducible sample disruption. The USTECH SamplePrep uses multi-directional bead-beating agitation to crush tough cell membranes and fibrous matrices. It isolates target molecules (DNA, RNA, proteins) while maintaining molecular integrity.
Using micro-vials with customized ceramic, steel, or glass grinding beads, it handles plant seeds, wood, animal tissues, and soil. An airtight container lockout ensures complete safety, and the unit processes up to 24 samples simultaneously, reducing laboratory preparation bottlenecks.
Key Value Drivers
- ? Complete Disruption: Effectively lyses seeds, yeast, bones, and complex soil matrices without clogging.
- ? Zero Cross-Contamination: Disposable closed tube architecture completely eliminates carryover risk.
- ? High Throughput: Homogenize up to 24 sample tubes simultaneously in under a minute.
- ? Digital Flexibility: Easily adjust agitation speed (1,000–5,000 RPM) and time cycles for delicate cells.
