The homogenization process by SpeedMill PLUS is based on an innovative double action technology – a mechanical principle for which a patent has been filed. This new process allows users to operate the SpeedMill PLUS continuously if necessary, whereby efficient sample cooling is facilitated by the holder, which can be stored at down to -80 °C. The compact design, intuitive use interface and availablity of pre-defined protocols are decisive for the ease of use.
- Innovative double action technology
- Passive sample cooling to -80°C
- Pre-defined protocols
- No acceleration/deceleration times
- Compact design and minimal footprint
SpeedMill PLUS – Homogenizer of Choice
The SpeedMill PLUS is a highly efficient homogenization system for various starting materials used for the subsequent isolation and purification of DNA, RNA or proteins. The homogenization process is based on an innovative mechanical principle for which a patent has been filed. This new process allows users to operate the SpeedMill PLUS continuously if necessary. The high efficiency of energy input into the sample, based on a vertical movement, procures a homogeneous disruption of the sample without destroying the target molecules.
Efficient sample cooling: prior, during and after preparation
For the optimized sample holder, which is used inside the SpeedMill PLUS, different temperature ratings are freely selectable due to the storage down to –80 °C. According to this an efficient sample cooling during the whole homogenization process is warranted and the substantial sample warming that occurs with other homogenizers is prevented. The often problematic handling of liquid nitrogen or dry ice is thus a thing of the past. Additionally the considerably expense factor of this additives, which have to be loaded continuously, is not applicable. Besides the sample holder allows an easy transport of the sample tubes and a long term storage of starting or homogenized material at adequate temperatures.
Modern preparation of samples: SpeedMill PLUS
The samples to be processed are rapidly and efficiently homogenized in Lysis Tubes that have been specially optimized for the system and, as such, contain different and/or application-specific beads. Using beads makes it possible to completely and reproducibly homogenize even the toughest starting materials, such as cartilage and chitin shells of insects or ticks within a very short time. 2.0 ml and 0.5 ml containers (Lysis Tubes) with different beads are available for sample preparation, allowing users to adapt sample processing to a diverse range of soft and hard starting materials. Operating processes, such as loading and removing of the sample tubes, are very simple and no tools are required. In addition userdefined protocols can be entered and saved as well as pre-installed programs are available. Homogenization parameters, like time and using cyclic routines are freely selectable.
Innovative technology for outstanding results
Digestion using SpeedMill PLUS is based on an innovative, patented mechanical principle and ensures highly efficient energy input. Based on a vertical movement, the process also ensures that the samples are homogeneously digested without destroying the target molecules.
