Description:

The TissueLyser II simultaneously disrupts multiple biological samples through high-speed shaking in plastic tubes with stainless steel, tungsten carbide, or glass beads. Using the appropriate adapter set, up to 48 or 192 samples can be processed at the same time. Alternatively, a grinding jar set can be used to process large samples.

Features:

Convenient and secure disruption process. Adapter sets optimized for high-throughput disruption. Wide range of accessories available (e.g.,grinding jar set to process large samples). Reproducible results with difficult-to-lyse tissues. Front-end solution for QIAGEN automation.

Specifications:
