Stuart's new homogenisers, available from Bibby Scientific, offer fast sample processing for life science applications. A choice of specially designed stainless steel and disposable polycarbonate probes provide the versatility to handle volumes ranging from 0.03ml up to 2 litres.
The SHM1 is a lightweight, variable speed homogeniser for handheld use. Its high-speed, high-torque 125W motor spins the rotor shaft at up to 35,000rpm, enabling most samples to be processed within 30sec.
The 700W SHM2 handles cell disruption, emulsions, suspensions and protein extraction. Powerful enough to process larger volumes and very tough tissue, such as lung, the SHM2 is for stand-mounting but may be handheld for short processes.
Both homogenisers accommodate stainless steel 5mm flathead as well as 7, 10 and 20mm saw tooth probes capable of processing hard or frozen tissue. Sample volumes extend from 0.03ml up to 2 litres and all probes can be autoclaved.
Stuart also offers packs of disposable polycarbonate probes for use with the SHM1 and SHM2. These 7mm saw tooth probes can process 0.25-30 ml samples.
