Automated Tissue Homogenizer

Micro Smash

Total Automation for Animal Tissue RNA Extraction


Fully Automated System from
Sample Homogenizing to RNA Extraction

The Micro SmashTM allows you to complete the entire process of Animal Tissue RNA extraction when combined with the AutoGenprep 245T or QuickGene-810* RNA extraction system.

The Micro Smash automates the homogenization of your animal tissue samples.  Simply place your animal tissue sample along with a some zirconium beads and AutoGen's homogenization solution into AutoGen micro centrifuge tubes, homogenize them on the Micro Smash, load the tube units directly on the AutoGenprep 245T or QuickGene-810*, press the start button and walk away.

*The QuickGene-810 has a couple additional manual steps after homogenization of the tissue prior to loading the lysate.

This Fully Automated System Features:

  • Patent applying "3D Rotating High Speed Motion"* for quick disruption of those fibrous tissues and resistant cells

  • Five patterned memory settings and user optional condition settings

  • A wide range of rotation speed settings from 2,000 to 5,500 rpm

  • Brushless motor realizing no brush particle generation and no brush replacement

  • Easy to remove sample tube holder

  • Easy to fix sample tubes with the turn of the central knob

  • Easy to monitor the disruption process through the clear lid

  • Economical and compact tabletop system, accommodating up to 2.0ml x 12 tubes

* "3D Rotating High Speed Motion" is a high-speed movement which vertically rotates and moves the sample tubes in a " figure-eight" motion. This motion allows beads to impact the cells more directly for effective disruption.

Three Step Process of Completely Automated Animal Tissue
RNA Extraction using the AutoGen System:

Step 1
Place animal tissue sample, zirconium beads and tissue homogenization solution into the AutoGen 2ml tube and cap it.

 

Step 2
Set up to 12 tubes into the Micro Smash, and homogenize for 1-2 minutes..

 

Step 3
Uncap the tubes and load them into the AutoGenprep 245T or prepare the lysate and load them into the QuickGene-810.
