MO BIO Laboratories announces the launch of the PowerLyzer 24 Bench Top Bead Based Homogenizer for homogenization and lysis of any biological sample. The PowerLyzer 24 homogenizer will enable researchers to prepare samples for analysis faster, minimize cross-contamination and maintain sample integrity. The PowerLyzer 24 Bench Top Bead Based Homogenizer is a bead beating instrument uniquely designed for efficient and complete homogenization and lysis of any biological sample. In as little as 30 seconds, the PowerLyzer 24 homogenizer is capable of processing up to 24 samples in 2ml tubes. With true “hands-free” operation, the downtime associated with manipulating samples through multiple cycles is eliminated. Even the toughest and most difficult to process samples such as pine needles, seeds, spores, fungal mats, and skin are effectively lysed. Combined with MO BIO’s line of high quality nucleic acid isolation kits developed specifically for the PowerLyzer, the instrument yields substantial quantities of intact DNA and RNA for downstream analysis.
