Samples to be homogenized are placed in single-use, disposable tube, which is then placed in an enclosed chamber of a Barocycler, which subjects samples to rapid cycles of high & low pressure (up to 35,000psi). Extraction occurs as the samples are exposed to automated cycles of high and low pressure. Barocycler's efficiently disrupt intracellular & extra- cellular materials. Nucleic acid & protein is completely released from cells & tissues in as little as 5 min. |
