Important Aspects of Sampled Preparation of Biological Materials: From Cell Disruption to Homogenization and Pulverization of a Great Variety of Biological Sampels

Biological samples come in all shapes and sizes: hard bones, tough and fibrous plants, tough and viscous sputum, soft muscles, tumor or liver tissue. Not to mention the millions of cells such as yeast, bacteria or algae, which have to be disrupted for applications such as DNA or RNA isolation or protein extraction. For research in genomics, transcriptomics or metabolomics, all kinds of biological samples have to be prepared as sample preparation is the first step of every analytical process.

Retsch offers a range of mills and grinders for easy and reproducible pulverization of solid samples materials some of which are also suitable for cell disruption and homogenization of biological sample materials. From Bead Beating for cell disruption over homogenization and pulverization to cryogenic grinding - RETSCH provides convenient and reliable solutions for sample preparation in areas like biotechnology, diagnostics, forensics, agriculture and microbiology.
