Roche MagNA Lyser Tissue Homogenizer
The Roche MagNA Lyser Tissue Homogenizer is a benchtop laboratory instrument built for rapid sample disruption. It standardizes the homogenization of biological specimens before nucleic acid or protein purification. Furthermore, the system easily processes animal tissue, plant material, bacteria, and yeast.
Core Specifications and Operational Features
- High-Speed Bead-Beating: It runs at variable speeds up to 7,000 rpm. This motion quickly breaks down resilient cellular structures.
- Dedicated Rotor Assembly: The rotor holds standard lysis tubes securely during rapid oscillation cycles.
- Cooling Block Integration: A pre-chilled aluminum block absorbs frictional heat. Consequently, it protects delicate RNA, DNA, and enzymes from thermal damage.
- Programmable Digital Controls: Digital settings control speed and run time with high precision. This feature standardizes protocols and limits user error.
- Compact Benchtop Footprint: The unit fits easily onto standard lab benches and inside biosafety hoods.
Primary Applications of the Roche MagNA Lyser
- High-efficiency extraction of genomic DNA and total RNA from fibrous tissues like muscle, bone, and seeds.
- Rapid mechanical disruption of tough cell walls in fungal spores, mycobacteria, and Gram-positive bacteria.
- Preparation of clean lysates for downstream assays, including PCR, RT-qPCR, NGS, and Western blotting.
Simplified Workflow and Safety
Operating the Roche MagNA Lyser requires minimal hands-on time. First, load sample tubes containing lysis beads into the pre-cooled rotor. Next, lock the safety lid and enter your validated run parameters. The automated cycle runs consistently. Meanwhile, the sealed containment protects operators from harmful aerosols.
Overall, the Roche MagNA Lyser Tissue Homogenizer streamlines pre-analytical sample workflows. It consistently delivers high yields and intact biomolecules for research laboratories.
By combining high-speed mechanical disruption with thermal protection, the Roche MagNA Lyser Tissue Homogenizer streamlines pre-analytical sample workflows, ensuring consistent yields and intact biomolecules across high-throughput and standard research settings.
