PURY Shredder

The PURY Shredder homogenizer consists of a unique biopolymer-shredding system in a microcentrifuge spin-column format. Cell or Tissue lysate is loaded onto the PURY shredder homogenizer placed in a collection tube and centrifuged. The homogenized lysate is then collected. In general, similar yields and quality of RNA are obtained as with rotor–stator homogenization.

Using PURY Shredder homogenizers is a fast and efficient way to homogenize cell and Tissue lysates without cross-contamination of samples. Up to 700 μl of lysate is loaded onto a PURY shredder spin column placed in a 2 ml collection tube, and spun for 2 min at maximum speed in a microcentrifuge. The lysate is homogenized as it passes through the spin column.
