MSK Cell homogenizer the specialist for fast homogenization

The MSK cell homogenizerfacilitates the fast disruptionof cells. Even difficult cellscan be homogenized withina few minutes.

The use of the MSK hasbeen scientifically tested inmany laboratories and hasproved its excellent value inthese areas.

Many years of experiencewith the MSK warrant to its high quality. In Micro-biology it can be applied to the disintegration ofyeasts, fungi and single cellalgae.

In Biochemistry the MSKis used to prepare organicmaterial for further analysis.

The unit has also qualifieditself for Molecular Biologyto isolate DNA, RNA orproteins from microorga-nisms (genome/proteomeresearch).

Researchers in Marine Bio-logy find the MSK useful forthe disintegration of singlecell algae, yeasts and fungi.

AccessoriesFor the grinding process shaking flasks and glass beads areneeded. Choose from flasks with volumes of 8 ml, 50 mland 70 ml, respectively. In addition, a holder for 8 x 1.5 mlreaction vials is available.Glass beads of different sizes can be selected. The choiceof suitable shaking flasks and glass beads depends on theintended application. You find some suggestions on the fol-lowing page.

Range of AccessoriesThe choice of suitable accessories depends on the samplematerial and its volume. A general recommendation for theuseful selection of glass beads is given in the table below.

x matched selection of glass beads

The MSK cell homogenizeryields excellent resultswhen it concerns the rapidand efficient disruption ofsingle cell organisms. Singlecell algae, yeasts, fungi andvarious bacteria can behomogenized. The optional

cooling with CO2 ensuresthat substances you wantto analyse are not de-stroyed by heat. Enzymesand other sensitive sub-stances retain their activity.Thus your analysis gains in sensitivity or yield. Like-

wise, DNA or RNA can beisolated. Of course the MSKis also suited for preparingsamples for 2-D-electro-phoresis, for example forproteome research. If youhave other homogenizationtasks, our homogenizers
