Equipment

Precellys Evolution homogenize or lyse any type of soft or hard sample from animal, human, plant or microorganism in about 30 seconds. The Precellys Evolution allows you to prepare samples in full safety and without cross contamination, for both routine applications and R&D projects. The Precellys Evolution with the cooling unit Cryolys protect thermo-sensitive molecules during the lysis process.

The PULVERISETTE 7 classic line with 2 workstations is ideal for fast, uniform and extremely fine grinding of very small samples down to colloidal fineness of hard, medium hard, brittle and moist samples. Depending on the desired final fineness can the grinding be performed dry or in suspension. it is ideal for the disintegration of biological cells as well as for DNA / RNA extraction and protein extraction.
