DescriptionPrecellys® 24 Touch is a laboratory tissue homogenizer that delivers rapid mechanical disruption of biological samples via high-energy 3D bead-beating. It processes a broad range of materials — from soft tissues to very hard samples such as bone, seeds or hair — and has been validated on over 1,500 sample types. The intuitive touchscreen and vacuum-based tube locking ensure secure, repeatable operation compatible with controlled lab environments, including BSL3.
Primary applications- Homogenization of animal and plant tissues, cells and microorganisms
- Sample preparation for DNA/RNA extraction and downstream molecular analyses (PCR, RT‑PCR, NGS, electrophoresis)
