Product Description
Brand Qiagen
Model III
Capacity 12 samples
CAT No 9003240
Application Histology
The TissueLyser III simultaneously disrupts multiple biological samples through high-speed shaking in tubes or 96-well plates with stainless steel, zirconium, ceramic or glass beads. Using the appropriate adapter set, up to 192 samples can be processed at the same time. Alternatively, a grinding jar set can be used to process large samples. A range of beads and bead dispensers are also available.
Exceptional Throughput and FlexibilityWith the ability to process 192 samples (in two 96-well plates) or 24 samples (with 2 mL tubes) during a single run, the Qiagen TissueLyser III ensures laboratories can meet demanding sample preparation schedules. The device's programmable features and adjustable speed allow researchers to tailor settings for optimal tissue disruption and lysis, maximizing efficiency and consistency for routine or large-scale projects.
Reliable and Reproducible Sample ProcessingThe TissueLyser III operates at an oscillation frequency adjustable between 1 and 30 Hz, supporting a range of protocols and sample types. Its sturdy metal/plastic composite build minimizes vibration and noise (under 71 dB(A)), ensuring consistent performance and user comfort. This instrument guarantees uniform homogenization, which is essential for downstream applications requiring stringent reproducibility.
FAQ's of Qiagen TissueLyser III:
Q: How does the Qiagen TissueLyser III facilitate sample disruption and homogenization?
A: The Qiagen TissueLyser III utilizes bead mill technology to disrupt and homogenize samples efficiently by rapidly oscillating tubes or plates containing beads and biological materials, leading to thorough cell lysis and tissue homogenization.
Q: What types of sample containers are supported by the TissueLyser III?
A: This instrument supports up to two 96-well plates or 24 individual 2 mL tubes per run, allowing users to process a wide array of sample formats based on their workflow requirements.
Q: When should I use the TissueLyser III in my laboratory workflow?
A: The TissueLyser III should be used during the sample preparation phase, particularly when high-throughput homogenization or cell lysis is required before downstream molecular, biochemical, or diagnostic analyses.
Q: Where can the Qiagen TissueLyser III be installed in the lab?
A: Designed as a benchtop unit, the TissueLyser III can be placed on a standard laboratory bench. Its compact footprint (410 x 520 x 480 mm) and electric power source make it convenient for most research and clinical environments.
Q: What is the process for programming a run on the TissueLyser III?
A: Users can set the desired oscillation frequency (1-30 Hz) and timer (between 10 seconds and 99 minutes) directly on the device. Optional external software support is also available to create, save, and manage custom protocols.
Q: How does the TissueLyser III benefit laboratories focused on high-throughput sample processing?
A: By accommodating large batch sizes, offering programmable settings, and delivering consistent, reproducible results, the TissueLyser III streamlines sample preparation, saving time and ensuring uniformity, which is essential for reliable research outcomes.
