The Tissue Tearor by Unigenetics Instruments Private Limited

The Tissue-Tearor is a rotor/stator type tissue homogenizer which can rapidly homogenize, disperse, and emulsify samples in 0.2 - 1000 ml of liquid. During operation, the suspended material is drawn into the core of the homogenizer by a rotor turning at up to 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. Little, if any, heat is produced during the process.

Unlike other Brands of rotor/stator type homogenizers, the Tissue-Tearor comes complete - that is, both motor and probe (aka, generator dispersing tool) are included in one price.

Features

• Use for mixing, emulsification, shredding, or chopping.
• Practical answer for small samples.
• Easy to hold and light weight for one hand operation. Can also be stand mounted.
• Autoclavable stainless steel probes. Inert to aggressive solutions.
• All probes are interchangeable probes and are easily removed for cleanup.
• High speed motor. Speed control from 5,000 to 35,000 rpm.

For field work, away from electrical lines, the model 780CL Cordless TissueTearor is available. Included is a cordless motor, one probe of your choice, one rechargeable 9.6 volt battery pack and a one-hour plug-in charger. Indicate probe size desired (example: 780CL-07). The maximum speed of the 780CL is 25,000 rpm. While the maximum speed is slower than the line-operated TissueTearor, it is quite adequate for homogenizing soft tissue like muscle, liver, brain, etc. The price for the 780CL TissueTearor is the same as the 985370 series: Additional battery packs (Cat #780CLBAT).

Processing much larger volumes? The Wiggenhauser homogenizer, a scaled up version of the Tissue-Tearor, is designed to disrupt or emulsify suspension volumes from 1/2 to 8 liters. The probe, made of type 316 stainless steel, has a 30mm tip diameter and 22cm length. The 500 watt motor turns at 10,000-30,000 rpm, variable speed. A robust stand comes with the homogenizer and two different stators are included to cover all applications.
