Scicalife Glass Tissue Homogenizer 0.5ml Grinder with Pestle Lab Tool

Description

Product Overview

The Scicalife Glass Tissue Homogenizer with Pestle is engineered to meet the demanding requirements of modern biological laboratories. Constructed from high-quality borosilicate glass, the homogenizer offers exceptional chemical resistance, ensuring that aggressive solvents and reagents do not degrade the vessel over time. The 0.5 ml capacity is ideal for small‑scale experiments, allowing precise control over sample volume while minimizing waste. A finely machined plunger with a concave‑convex bite creates a milling action that efficiently disrupts even the toughest tissue matrices, delivering homogeneous suspensions ready for downstream analysis. The compact dimensions—approximately 4.72 × 4.72 × 1.38 inches—make the device easy to handle, store, and integrate into crowded bench spaces. Designed for repeatable performance, the homogenizer maintains its structural integrity after repeated cycles, reducing the need for frequent replacement and supporting sustainable laboratory practices.

Usage

This homogenizer is suited for a wide range of applications, including DNA/RNA extraction, protein isolation, cell lysis, and histological sample preparation. Researchers in molecular biology, microbiology, pharmacology, and environmental science can benefit from its reliable performance. The device works equally well with soft tissues such as liver or spleen and harder specimens like plant material or calcified bone fragments, thanks to the precision milling design that adapts to varying resistance levels. Users simply add the sample to the glass tube, insert the pestle, and rotate the plunger to achieve the desired level of homogenization. The transparent glass body allows visual monitoring of the process, enabling real‑time adjustments. Because the homogenizer is free of metal components, it eliminates the risk of metal contamination, a critical consideration for trace‑element analysis and sensitive enzymatic assays.

FAQ

Can the homogenizer be used with organic solvents?

Yes. The borosilicate glass material is resistant to most organic solvents, including ethanol, methanol, and chloroform, making it suitable for a variety of extraction protocols.

Is the pestle interchangeable with other tube sizes?

The pestle is specifically machined to fit the 0.5 ml tube dimensions of this model. For larger volumes, Scicalife offers compatible pestles and tubes in a separate product line.

How do I clean the homogenizer after use?

Rinse the glass tube and pestle with distilled water, then wash with a mild detergent. For thorough decontamination, soak in a 10 % bleach solution for 10 minutes, followed by a final rinse with sterile water. The glass can also be autoclaved if needed.

What is the recommended rotation speed for optimal homogenization?

Typically, a moderate rotation speed of 300–500 rpm provides effective tissue disruption without generating excessive heat. Adjust speed based on sample type and desired homogenization level.

Does the product come with a warranty?

Yes, Scicalife offers a one‑year limited warranty covering manufacturing defects. Contact our support team for warranty claims or replacement parts.
