Revolutionary Homogenization Instrument
The Bullet Blender™ from Next Advance, Inc. keeps samples cool and enables high throughput homogenizing of tissue and disrupting of cells with no sample loss. It uses patented striking technology to vigorously agitate the samples. Because it homogenizes up to 24 tissue or cell samples in parallel in just minutes, results are more consistent, reproducible, and cost-effective. The samples remain in closed tubes, so there is no cross contamination or sample loss, unlike with probe-based methods. By adjusting the agitation power and the selection of beads in the tubes, the Bullet Blender™ can homogenize a variety of tissues, from soft to very tough.
