Tissue-Tearor
The Tissue-Tearor is a rotor/stator type tissue homogenizer which rapidly homogenizes, disrupts, and emulsifies plant and animal samples in 0.5 - 1000 ml of liquid. The Tissue-Tearor comes complete with a high-speed, variable-speed electric motor and probe. All probes are interchangeable with the Tissue-Tearor motor.
If you need a 230 volt unit, select models that with model numbers ending in EUR.

Description
Complete homogenization of tissues (muscle, liver, breast tissue, etc.) is achieved in ten to thirty seconds. Unlike homogenizers using different methodologies, essentially no heat is produced during homogenization.
Rotor/stator homogenizers do not efficiently disrupt microorganisms. This "limitation" can be exploited if the goal is to homogenize or disperse tissue samples (or soil or waste samples) in order to recover viable bacteria or viruses for further analysis.
For numerous samples, the Tissue-Tearor is easily mounted on a stand with an adjustable clamp.
