The Ohaus HOHTDG HT Lysing Homogenizer is a homogenizer specifically designed for high throughput sample processing in a microplate, deep well plate, or sample tube format. Animal tissue, seeds, tubers, leaf punches, soil and sediment samples, insects, and microbial cultures can all be effectively homogenized in a 96-well or microplate, deep well plate, or sample tube format. The high speed linear motion of the homogenizer allows for rapid sample processing; in most cases two (2) minutes or less.

Samples are placed in a tube, vial or well with a grinding media and extraction buffer (seeds can be ground dry), sealed with a cap or press-on mat, placed in the HOHTDG HT Lysing Homogenizer, and processed. Homogenized samples can be subsequently handled manually or in automated systems making use of the standard plate format. The HOHTDG HT Lysing Homogenizer is suitable for the isolation of protein, DNA, RNA, viruses, and any other biological components released during homogenization. The unit is also useful for pulverizing dry samples for chemical analysis and solubility studies.
