Product news

Porvair Sciences has announced the new Chromatrap® Homogeniser Spin Column which is designed to provide a quick, cost effective way to homogenize cells and tissues lysates in a single step.

Developed as a quick, clean and efficient alternative to syringe and needle homogenization techniques - the Chromatrap® Homogeniser Spin Column offers labs an easy-to-use downstream sample processing tool for a wide range of applications such as plasmid miniprep and midiprep and RNA extraction protocols. Good homogenization of cells and tissue lysates enables improvement in yield and quality of obtained plasmids and RNA for downstream applications.

Contained within a spin column, the unique proprietary bio-shredding Vyon® polymer contained within Chromatrap® Homogeniser Spin Columns reduces lysate viscosity and captures insoluble debris by centrifugation thereby eliminating the possibility of contamination.

Homogenizers and BlendersHomogenizers and blenders are used to homogenize various types of material, including tissue, cells, plants, food, soil, biological and chemical samples for subsequent analysis. Lab equipment for sample homogenization includes handheld and benchtop homogenizers, bead mill, ultrasonic and multiple sample homogenizers, high shear homogenizers and blenders. Homogenizer bead and probe multipacks are available to avoid cross contamination of samples, as well as cooling systems for homogenizing temperature-sensitive samples. Homogenizers are often used in the first step of extraction of DNA, RNA and proteins from tissue and cell samples. Find the best homogenizers and blenders in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.DNA / RNA Extraction and PurificationPurified DNA and RNA are required for numerous downstream molecular biology applications. Consequently, the importance of high-quality DNA/RNA extraction and purification equipment cannot be underestimated. Many purification kits are available and are typically optimized for nucleic acid type and source, including plasmid DNA, genomic DNA, mRNA, RNA and viral nucleic acid purification kits. Automated extraction and purification of nucleic acids can be implemented with magnetic bead separator instruments or high-throughput purification workstations.
