Homogenizing from A - Z Post #5

Homogenizing A - Z 


Homogenizing is one of the first steps in research and PRO homogenizers have been used to process so many different type of samples from A (acetate) to Z (zebrasfish).

What can we help you homogenize today?
Take a look at our extensive homogenizing application database

What's the key to great homogenizing?






When it comes to homogenizing, the key to homogenizing is the generator probe as this is the component that actually comes into contact with your sample.


Whether your are equipping your PRO Homogenizer with one of our PRO Quick Connect Generator Probes or our Multi-Gen 7XL Multi-Sample Generator Probes to homogenize your tissue samples, you will get consistent results each and every time.  

All PRO Generator Probes are precision crafted to ensure efficient and effective homogenization and are manufactured out of 316SS to be chemically compatible with your sample and reagents.
