Description

The FastPrep-24 5G is a versatile sample disruption instrument designed to quickly and efficiently homogenize, grind, or lyse biological samples. A completely self-contained system, the FastPrep-24 5G eliminates the risk of cross-contamination and time-consuming clean-up associated with manual lysis methods. Samples are added to individual lysing matrix tubes and placed into sample holder adapters within the instrument. The unique, optimized motion of the FastPrep-24 5G shakes the samples in a tridimensional motion resulting in the collision of the sample material with the lysing matrix particles.

Intuitive software makes programming the FastPrep-24 5G fast and simple. The programmable touchscreen display allows for the use of pre-determined or custom homogenization speeds and duration times with a finger touch. Increased power features result in faster processing times and complete lysis of even the toughest samples.

Key application include:
-Suitable for all sample types
-Lysis of yeast, fungi, and bacteria, soft tissues, cells
-Isolation of PCR-Ready Genomic DNA from fecal or soil samples
-Isolation of PCR-Ready Genomic DNA from fungi and bacteria samples
-DNA & RNA Purification
-Breaks hard/brittle samples
-Isolate DNA from virtually any source.
-Lysis of highly contagious samples
-Grinding of teeth, bones, hair and pulverization of building materials

Description

The FastPrep-24™ Classic Instrument is a high-speed benchtop homogenizer offering the ultimate in speed and performance for the lysis of biological samples. Simultaneous homogenization of up to 24 samples takes place within 40 seconds.

The FastPrep-24™ Classic uses a unique, optimized motion to disrupt cells through the multidirectional, simultaneous beating of specialized Lysing Matrix beads on the sample material. Developed for difficult and resistant samples, the FastPrep-24™ Classic lyses thoroughly and quickly any tissues and cells and thus allows easy and reproducible isolation of stable RNA, active proteins and full-length genomic DNA.

Samples and buffers are added to a 2.0 mL Lysing Matrix tube containing specialized Lysing Matrix beads. The ergonomic design of the instrument ensures an easy loading of the sample tubes that remains securely sealed during the processing. The homogenization speed and duration times are manually programmed or accessed from onboard memory. After setting your speed and time with the touch of a button, just push “run”, and in less than a minute your samples are completely lysed!

The FastPrep-24™ Classic is the only available homogenizer with 9 interchangeable adapters which allows a unique versatility in sample number, size and temperature conditions. All optional adapters stand stable on the benchtop and are commonly used as tube racks for sample storage at -20°C or -80°C.

A wide range of specialized Lysing Matrix tubes containing beads of different materials, sizes and shapes have been tailored to guarantee thorough homogenization of any sample. High performance purification kits, when used in conjunction with the FastPrep-24™ Classic, provide simple, ready-to-use methods for the release and subsequent purification of DNA, RNA and proteins.
