System provides high-throughput processing for simultaneous, rapid, and effective disruption of up to 192 biological samples, including animal and plant tissues, bacteria, and yeast
The new TissueLyser system from Qiagen provides high-throughput processing for simultaneous, rapid, and effective disruption of up to 192 biological samples, including animal and plant tissues, bacteria, and yeast.
The TissueLyser is a key component of Qiagen's complete tissue-management system - from sample collection and stabilisation to RNA and DNA purification.
Over 20 optimised disruption and homogenisation protocols integrate the TissueLyser system with Qiagen RNeasy, DNeasy, QIAamp, MagAttract, and EZ1 systems for purification of high-performance nucleic acids from a wide range of sample types.
The TissueLyser system is easily scalable, from single samples up to 2x96 samples in parallel.
Highly reproducible processing of up to 192 samples on the TissueLyser takes as little as two to four minutes. Disruption is achieved through the beating and grinding effect of beads on the sample material as they are shaken with the sample in a variety of grinding vessels.
The optimised design of TissueLyser Adapter Sets, for simultaneous disruption of up to 48 or 192 samples, ensures that tubes remain securely sealed during disruption.
This prevents cross-contamination, which is especially important for highly sensitive downstream applications, such as real-time RT-PCR or microarray analysis. The TissueLyser system includes a number of different accessories for ease of use with different sample sizes and throughputs. TissueLyser Adapter Sets are available for processing up to 2x96 samples in collection microtubes or up to 2x24 samples in 2.0ml microcentrifuge tubes.
TissueLyser Bead Dispensers are available to conveniently deliver single beads into microcentrifuge tubes or to deliver 96 beads in parallel into collection microtubes.
