TissueRuptor II

TissueRuptor II (120 V, 60 Hz, US)

Rapid, effective disruption of a range of sample types

Disposable probes help to minimize cross-contamination

Time savings through use of disposable probes

Visual monitoring of disruption using transparent probes

Seamless integration with QIAGEN sample technologies

The TissueRuptor II is a handheld rotor-stator homogenizer that provides rapid, efficient and flexible disruption of human, animal and plant samples for a wide range of downstream applications. The TissueRuptor II uses transparent disposable probes, which helps to minimize the risk of cross-contamination and enables visual control of the sample disruption process. Use of a disposable probe also provides time savings as the probe does not have to be cleaned after homogenization of each sample.

The TissueRuptor II has all the same features and functionality as the old TissueRuptor.

Performance

QIAGEN has tested use of the TissueRuptor II in combination with proven QIAGEN sample preparation kits. Sample disruption with the TissueRuptor II ensures maximal yields of nucleic acids and proteins that perform well in downstream applications such as PCR, western blotting and enzyme assays (see figure "

High performance results in PCR

"). For most tissues, disruption and homogenization using the TissueRuptor II gives comparable results to traditional rotor–stator homogenization (see figure "
