Homogenization of marine microalgae using the Precellys

7 Apr 2022

The Precellys® 24 Touch is an efficient homogenizer that can process up to 12 samples in 2mL tubes simultaneously.

In this application note, explore how the Precellys24 Touch coupled with the appropriate lysing matrix can process marine microalgae, such as A. tamarense, for extraction of high-quality RNA suitable for transcriptomics analysis.

Precellys® 24 Touch

Bertin Technologies

Precellys ® 24 Touch is the ideal lab homogenizer to prepare any kind of biological sample, from the softest to the hardest. It can treat up to 24 samples at a time and has been validated on more than 1,500 different samples. The intuitive touchscreen interface of Precellys ® 24 Touch makes it really easy to use. Thanks to its exclusive vacuum-based tube locking system and its specific design, Precellys ® 24 Touch is compliant with the harshest safety requirements, such as BSL3.

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. Find the best DNA/RNA extraction and purification equipment in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.Environmental Monitoring and TestingEnvironmental monitoring and testing uses handheld portable analyzers, kits, spectrometers or chromatography systems for air, water, soil, food and other sample testing. Useful features of analyzers such as BOD and COD include portability, easy calibration, automation and sensitivity.  Environmental test kits for pH, water, moisture, etc, should be accurate, sensitive, reliable, fast and easy to use.DNA / RNA QuantificationDetection and quantification of nucleic acids is important in molecular biology, cloning, expression, forensics and clinical diagnostics. Nucleic acids can be detected by labeling with colorimetric, fluorescent or radio labels and using in situ hybridization kits to identify specific sequences. Multiple nucleic acids can be detected and quantified at once using RNA / DNA detection beads or RNA / DNA microarrays.
