Description: Tissue grinders produce homogenates by a combination of shear and compression forces. Grinding (by shear) of tissue into smaller pieces occurs at the rounded end of the pestle as a spinning pestle is lowered into the tube. Cell lysis (by compression) occurs as sample is displaced through the narrow gap between the cylindrical sides of the tube and pestle as the pestle is forced lower into the tube, causing cells in the tissue to rupture. Pulling the tube away from the pestle sucks the sample back past the compression area, starting a new homogenization stroke. This item includes a PTFE pestle and is suitable for homogenizing soft tissues like brain or liver. It is strong enough to be motor driven but an appropriate adaptor is required (not included). The dual-angle conical/cylindrical design increases the dividend of homogenization. The borosilicate glass 3.3 tube has a beaded rim and pour spout. Specs (approximate): nominal capacity, 50 mL; tube reservoir outer diameter, 38 mm; tube length, 225 mm; pestle shaft outer diameter, 10 mm; pestle length, 320 mm; pestle-tube clearance, 0.13 mm (0.005 inch) Ships on the next business day (USA only).
