The Geno/Grinder is a high-throughput plant and animal tissue homogenizer and cell lyser. It is equipped with an adjustable clamp that accommodates a full range of sample vials from 2 mL to 50 mL centrifuge tubes or up to six deep-well titer plates. It is specifically designed for rapid cell disruption, cell lysis and tissue homogenization through bead beating. This enables fast and efficient extraction of nucleic acids, proteins and other molecules. The Geno/Grinder incorporates a password-protected, touch screen control panel, enabling the user to program run time, rate, cycles and pause time.
Polymer Matrices: Optimization for Pre-Analytical Workflow
November 27th 2024Learn about the challenges of preparing polymer samples for elemental analysis and how advanced microwave digestion systems, particularly Single Reaction Chamber (SRC) technology, optimize this process for better accuracy, efficiency, and safety.
Poster Presentation - RISE imaging of various phases of SiC in sintered silicon-carbide ceramics
November 12th 2024In this poster presentation applications manager Ute Schmidt discusses the use of correlative Raman-SEM (RISE Microscopy) imaging for analyzing silicon-carbide (SiC) ceramics. The main focus of the work is investigating the distribution of sub-micron structured polytypes of SiC grains on and below the surface.
