BioSpec Tissue-Tearor

Overview The Tissue-Tearor is a rotor/stator type tissue homogenizer which can rapidly homogenize, disrupt, and emulsify samples in 0.5 - 1000 ml of liquid. 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. When ordering select one of our four different probe sizes - 04, 07, XL, and 14. Unlike most competitive Brands of rotor-stator homogenizer, THE TISSUE-TEAROR COMES COMPLETE WITH BOTH THE HIGH-SPEED MOTOR AND ONE STAINLESS STEEL PROBE OF YOUR CHOICE. See chart below for probe selection guidance. Additional probes are available. All are interchangeable with the TT motor unit. Features: Use for tissue cell disruption, emulsification and extreme mixing Practical answer for small samples of 10 mg to a few grams Easy to hold and light weight for one hand operation. Can also be stand mounted Inert to aggressive solutions. Stainless steel probe easily cleaned when processing multiple samples All probes are interchangeable and can be removed for autoclaving Extremely high speed 32,000 rpm motor with variable speed control The Tissue-Tearor comes complete with a high speed, variable speed electric motor, one probe of your choice and a plastic storage stand*. All probes are interchangeable with the Tissue-Tearor motor. See our accessories link to order additional probes alone. *The Tissue-Tearor with the 14 mm diameter probe does not come with a plastic storage stand.

The minimum speed is 5000 rpm. What is the speed at each of the different numerical speed settings on the controls? ​The speed is not calibrated at each numerical setting, but it will increase in an approximately linear fashion from the minimum speed (5,000 rpm) to the maximum speed (32,000 rpm).
