Application Area:Metabolites analysis using human gut tissues
"I have used another homogenizer before and comparing with Precellys, the latter is easier to use and without the need to balance the tubes. With cryolysis function, the tubes are kept at constant cold temp. The instrument has some safety feature that will detect if the tubes are lock in place before homogenisation starts. I highly recommend to anyone who is looking for a good homogenizer that comes with multi function."

Eliminate long tedious steps, process several samples at once, rapid results LOVE IT!
Application Area:Analyze protein, cytokines and other metabolites in various tissue samples
"The Precellys homogenizer, also known as 'R2D2' in our lab, is a workhorse. We regularly use it to homogenize different tissue samples - mouse brain regions, liver, heart, etc. Breaking down the whole tissue is always laborious and is a critical step in the analysis. We have moved away from homogenizing 1 sample at a time with a handheld homogenizer to about 30 samples with ease and all it takes is 10 seconds! We end up saving a lot of time and resources with high-quality reproducible results. We use the homogenizer to extract protein, DNA and RNA from tissue for western blot, ELISA, or qPCR analyses. The homogenizer is very user friendly and lets you set up personalized protocols. Customer service is impeccable and fast- they will get you what you need. This is by far my favorite equipment in the lab!"

Great. Very easy to use, very practical, love it. The kit is quite expensive though.
Application Area:Homogenization of small tissues for RNA and protein extraction.
"We are currently using the Homogenizer for small tissue homogenization. We use mice arteries (2-5 mg of tissue) and we were having a lot of troubles with the process, considering the size of the sample and the fact that the elastic layer of the artery wall makes the homogenization very difficult to achieve, and with poor reproducibility. We acquired the homogenizer only a few days ago, and I have to admit that I’m in love with it. Using RIPA of Trizol reagent, we can easily and with a very good reproducibility obtain proteins and RNA from mice artery and heart, in just a few seconds. We will soon try other mice tissues. One very practical advantage is the fact that we can use the Trizol reagent directly with the sample in the homogenizer. One disadvantage is that the kit (the tubes with the beads) are quite expensive for our standards, so we can’t use it as much as we would like to. Overall, very very good. It literally solved a problem we have been struggling with for more than a year."

In addition the Precelly is substantially safer than hand held homogenisers, which require trizol tubes to be open, this allows for a closed system of homogenising, thus improving safety for users.
