Tissue-Tearor* Tissue Homogenizers

The Tissue-Tearor* is a rotor/stator type tissue homogenizer which can rapidly homogenize, disperse, and emulsify samples in 0.5 - 1000 ml of liquid. During operation, the suspended material is drawn into the core of the homogenizer by a rotor turning at 35,000 rpm. The material is repeatedly cycled through six narrow slits in the stator where it is rapidly sheared and disintegrated by high frequency mechanical action. Complete homogenization of tissues (muscle, liver, breast tissue, etc.) is usually achieved in ten to thirty seconds. Samples can be processed in test tubes kept cold during treatment by immersion in an ice bath. 120V, 50/60 Hz, 138W.
