Our new Tissue Tearor II features several improvements over our previous rotor/stator homogenizer.  Tissue Tearor II is powered by an improved motor with digital speed control.  This new motor is 15% more powerful than the out going motor.

In addition to the probe of your choice, each new Tissue Tearor II also includes two stands.  The first is a stainless steel storage stand.  This small stand is perfect for holding your Tissue Tearor II between samples or after cleaning.  It allows any fluids remaining in the probe to drain down and out the probe instead of wicking up the probe into the motor where oxidation can occur.

The second stand is for hands-free operation.  This new stand securely holds your Tissue Tearor II in position allowing you to bring the samples to your Tissue Tearor II.  This is very helpful when processing multiple samples and greatly improves lab efficiency.

With the Tissue Tearor II complete homogenization of tissues (muscle, liver, breast tissue, etc.) is achieved in ten to thirty seconds. Unlike homogenizers using other methodologies, essentially no heat is produced during homogenization with the Tissue Tearor II.

An interesting aspect of the Tissue Tearor II is that it does 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.
