Product Description
Brand Qiagen
Model LT
Capacity 12 samples
CAT No 85600
Application Histology
The TissueLyser LT is a small bead mill which provides fast, effective disruption of up to 12 samples at the same time. This throughput matches that of the QIAcube, which automates sample preparation using trusted QIAGEN spin-column kits. Simultaneous disruption and homogenization is achieved through high-speed shaking of samples in 2 ml microcentrifuge tubes with stainless steel or glass beads. The TissueLyser LT must be used in combination with the coolable TissueLyser LT Adapter, which holds tubes during the disruption process. Additional accessories include beads and bead dispensers.
Efficient and Rapid Tissue HomogenizationThe TissueLyser LT uses bead mill technology to ensure consistent and rapid sample disruption in as little as one minute, supporting up to 12 samples per cycle. This high throughput ensures laboratories can process multiple samples simultaneously, expediting workflows for DNA, RNA, and protein purification.
Reliable Safety and Simple OperationEquipped with a safety lock lid and overload protection, the instrument prioritizes user safety. Its user-friendly, one-button control makes operation intuitive, while robust LED indicators provide clear status updates. Minimal routine maintenance further enhances its practical laboratory utility.
Broad Compatibility and Versatile ApplicationsOptimized for QIAGEN 2 ml microcentrifuge tubes and stainless steel beads, the TissueLyser LT accommodates various sample types, including animal and plant tissues, bacteria, yeast, and fungi. This flexibility makes it an excellent choice for diverse biological and biotechnological research needs.
