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.
