Precellys®24-Dual

Fast & easy

Typical homogenization time is 30 seconds for a large majority of samples. Nucleic acid or proteins are separated from the tissue matrix, and pipetted after a short centrifugation step to pellet the debris.

Efficientin multiple configurations

Efficient in 7mL with up to 5g samples / 5mL culture

Bertin Technologies innovate in tissue homogenizer with a specific 7mL tube which combines bead-beating efficiency and sample throughput.

Efficient in 2mL with up to 1g samples / 1.6mL culture

This enables to use Precellys 24-Dual as described in scientific publications.

Flexible

Adapted protocols and consumables from soft to hard tissues (micro-organisms, animal or plant tissues).

Thanks to the highest speed motion in the market, Precellys 24-Dual can grind of challenging tissues like bones, hair, cartilage, skin etc.

Adjust speed and beads for:

• Dry grinding
• Micronisation
• Homogenization from fresh or snap-frozen tissues
• Lysis of micro-organisms
• Dissociation of living bacteria

See the examples of application with animal, plant&soil or micro-organisms

Cooling unit

During motion, mechanical impacts between beads and sample can generate heat. With the Precellys 24, the homogenization process is so quick that the temperature does not reach denaturation levels. Nevertheless, for sensitive molecules, it is important to master this generation of heat.

The Cryolys is a cooling option for the Precellys®24-Dual. Cold air (-50°C) is sprayed around the tubes so that temperature inside the tubes remains at approximately 4°C.

Standard & Design for daily lab operations

Precellys 24-Dual has been designed for biological sample preparation. Biological space is entirely separated from the mechanical parts preventing any inside contamination. Also individual sealed tubes prevents cross contamination between sample preparations.

When the protocol is set up and validated, the sample preparation process remains the same with no variation in analysis results, on a time basis, nor users.  it was specifically developed and designed to be used in L3 laboratory under high throughput conditions, 50 to 100 runs per day.
