High-throughput, compact well plate homogenizer that accommodates jar cryo-milling
Scientists in the laboratory bench and automation world are no stranger to SBS (Society of Biomolecular Screening) formats and the existing worldwide guidelines for microplates/well-plates. Since the inception of the society, these multi-well plates have become essential consumables employed by genetic, proteomic, and multi-omic researchers alike.
Within the world of basic, exploratory drug discovery, and pre-clinical research, cell and molecular scientists use them in a myriad of applications, including cultivating cell cultures, harvesting small quantities of tissues, or as small, isolated test tubes for replicate studies. As liquid handlers and innovative dispensing solutions have developed to become dexterous at working with minute volumes of buffers, reagents, and enzymes of various viscosity, labs may have also started to consider adopting automation to optimize their workflows to free up researchers for specialized protocols and less manual or repetitive labor involving hundreds, if not thousands of wells and pipetting steps, depending on a lab’s everyday throughput.
Automation-enabled sample homogenization, one of the earliest processes in sample prep, are being deployed on a consistent basis by labs looking to scale up from their manual mortar-and-pestle or hand-held homogenizer method. This is also the case for those labs that want to continue using their protocols based on microplates but streamline workflows. For these labs, the Omni Bead Ruptor 96 well plate homogenizer – also compatible with cryo milling and jar milling – may offer an attractive solution. Explore our list of accessories that power both the high-throughput and flexible capabilities of this tabletop bead mill homogenizer.
