Homogenizer Mill Plus - Automated processing of up to 20 samples
Homogenizer Mill Plus - Automated Processing of Up to 20 Samples
The Homogenizer Mill Plus (SpeedMill PLUS) is a highly efficient automated homogenization system engineered for the mechanical disruption of diverse starting materials prior to DNA, RNA, or protein isolation. Built on an innovative patented mechanical principle with Double Action Technology, it delivers complete and reproducible sample lysis while maintaining efficient cooling throughout the entire preparation process.
Core Features
Sample Preparation System
Samples are rapidly homogenized in specially optimized Lysis Tubes containing application-specific beads. A broad portfolio of 2.0 mL and 0.5 mL Lysis Tubes with different bead compositions allows adaptation to soft and hard starting materials alike. The system enables complete and reproducible homogenization of even the most resistant matrices within a very short time.
Optimized Extraction Kits
Complete nucleic acid (DNA and RNA) isolation kits optimized specifically for the Mill Plus are available. These kits include special Lysis Tubes with application-specific beads, pre-made buffers, and all components required for isolation. The standard isolation protocol requires only about 20 to 30 minutes, delivering impressively high yields and outstanding nucleic acid quality.
