BioPulverizer
The BioPulverizer quickly fragments hard frozen tissue samples into tiny pieces the size of grains of sand or course powder. The primary benefit of pulverizing pieces of tissue is to optimize subsequent rapid and complete cell lysis using lytic solutions or mechanical homogenizers. For difficult tissues such as tendon, skin, and tumors it is an essential step (see https://www.invitrogen.com/site/us/en/home/References/Ambion-Tech-Support/rna-isolation/tech-notes/isolation-of-total-rna-from-difficult-tissues.html). The BioPulverizer is also used at room temperature to fragment friable, dry biomaterial such as non-oily seeds, bone and teeth.
There are four different hand-operated BioPulverizers for quickly pulverizing 10 mg to 10 g of frozen tissue.
Cat. No. 59012N, BioPulverizer, capacity 10-100mg
Cat. No. 59013N, BioPulverizer, capacity 0.1-1g
Cat. No. 59014N, BioPulverizer, capacity 1-10g
Cat. No. 59012MS, MultiSample BioPulverizer, 12 wells, capacity 10-100mg per well*
*Twelve pestles are included with each 59012MS.
BioRotator-6
The BioRotator-6 is a fully adjustable, rotational mixer designed for a wide variety of mixing needs.
Cat. No. 792, BioRotator-6, 115 volt
Cat. No. 792EUR, BioRotator-6, 230 volt
NOTE: EACH BIOROTATOR-6 COMES WITH ONE ATTACHMENT OF YOUR CHOICE. SEE "BIOROTATOR ATTACHMENTS" BELOW TO SPECIFY.
BioSqueezer
The BioSqueezer is used to quickly freeze 10-100 mg of soft animal and human tissue. Fresh tissue is compressed into a thin disc about the size of a small coin under the pressure of a stainless steel clamp head that has been pre-cooled in liquid nitrogen or dry ice. Freezing occurs in a few milliseconds, thus giving a snapshot of metabolic events in the cells. The hard frozen disc is easily fragmented or ground without thawing for subsequent extraction of labile nucleic acids, proteins and intracellular metabolite products.
BioVortexer
A lightweight, battery powered, hand held mixer motor. Used with plastic pestles or stir rods
Cat. No. 1083, BioVortexer and batteries
Cat. No. 1083MC, BioVortexer, includes 100 stirring rods and batteries
Cat. No. 1017MC, BioVortexer, includes 2 bags of SpiralPestles (total of 100) and batteries
Chopper-Grinder
A versatile little mill having a unique reversible blade assembly: one side of the blade is sharp and the other side blunt. Thus it functions both as a processor for fresh, soft plant and animal tissue and as a grinder for dried seed and other dried, non-woody plant tissues.
Cryo-Cup Grinder
The Cryo-Cup Grinder is a mortar and pestle specifically designed to pulverize and powder plant and animal tissue samples at liquid nitrogen temperatures. It gives superior results compared to conventional ceramic mortar-pestles.
Cat. No. 206, Cryo-cup Grinder, complete, includes two different size polypropylene pestle balls. See below for extra cups (mortars) and pestle balls.
Cat. No. 206C, Extra s.s. mortar with insulated cup. (Pestle not included)

Cat. No. 206SS178, Stainless steel ball, 1 7/8 inch dia.
CryogenicTissueGrinder
The CryogenicTissueGrinder is a high speed blade mill that grinds 0.5-10 grams of plant, animal and human tissue with high water content to a fine powder in the presence of dry ice. The tissue becomes brittle at solid CO2 temperatures. A sample hit with a hammer (or in the case of the CTG111, a spinning blade) fragments into tiny pieces in a matter of seconds.
Cat. No. CTG111, 120 volts
Deep Well Micro-plates and Mats
Cat. No. 219030, Porvair Science, 2 ml Deep well Microplate, polypropylene, square well, 50 plates per case

DuelingSyringes™ Tissue Disperser
A low cost, disposable, tissue disperser for up to 100 mg samples of soft tissue (e.g., liver, brain and muscle). The Dueling Syringes™ tissue disperser is a significant improvement over the classic "syringe-needle-syringe" method of tissue dispersion. The needle is replaced with an embedded 500 micron stainless steel screen inside a 1 ml polycarbonate syringe. Manual passage of the sample back and forth through the screen is fast, gentle and efficient. Sold as a pack of five pairs of syringes.
Electric Juicer
Ideal for a one step preparation of cell lysate from most fruits and vegetables. Suitable tissues include tubers, squash, leafy tissues, fruits and pods. One of the few methods that do not require added liquid to obtain a cell free extract. Consequently, the highly concentrated proteins and biochemicals in the homogenate optimize down-stream purification or analysis steps. Not suitable for extracting animal tissue.
Electric Meat Grinder
The meat grinder reduces fresh muscle and animal organ tissue to piece about 1 mm in cross section. Most of the tissue cells remain intact. This classic tool is useful for preparing large amounts tissue (100- >1 kg) for complete homogenization and cell
Leaf Tissue Punch
The leaf tissue punch produces a single 1/4 inch dia. disc. The punch holds a standard snap-top or screw-top microvial in a position to receive the sample without further manipulation.
Lever Tissue Press
The Lever Tissue Press, a modified garlic press, enhanced by addition of a silicone-rubber gasket to the bottom of the lever press piston and the inclusion of an extra "can" to facilitate processing of multiple samples.
Locking Hold-Down Cap
Must be used with Locking Aluminum Knob.
Locking Stainless Steel Knob
Must be used with Locking Hold-Down Cap.
Manual Microplate Bead Loader
The Manual Deep Well Microplate Loader is a simple device. A one ml deep well microplate is filled to the top with beads. A 'receiving' two ml deep well microplate is accurately positioned over the filled wells of the one ml microplate and the pair is inverted. The two well microplate is now loaded with exactly one ml of beads in each well. To facilitate this fill and flip method, a stainless steel frame is provided to assure proper positioning of the 'donor' microplate to the 'receiving' microplate. Also included is a spatula, a one ml 'donor' microplate and a special tray designed to catch and recover excess beads.
Mat Roller
1 1/2' rubber roller, for hand pressing mats onto microplates. Much easier than using your fingers but it is limited to low volume applications.
