Minilys personal homogenizer
Especially designed for low throughput laboratory workflows, the Minilys personal tissue homogenizer homogenizes three samples simultaneously in 0.5mL or 2mL tubes and one sample in 7 ml tubes.
Minilys is a compact and flexible tissue homogenizer to meet particular sample preparation needs for all laboratories working with biological samples.
Especially designed to offer optimal grinding, lysing and homogenizing efficiency, Minilys is capable of handling 3 x 2mL/0.5mL tubes or 1 x 7mL tube to process any type of samples. Its manual but not screw-in locking system makes Minilys an easy-pick-up laboratory instrument.
Affordable, Minilys offers the best personal homogenization solution.
Minilys homogenizer is ideal for daily lab workflow. Associated with the appropriate lysing kit, Minilys can even grind difficult samples like grains or hairs.

Flexibility:
- Minilys offers the possibility to process either 3 x 0.5, 1.5 or 2mL tubes at once or 1 x 7mL tube.
Easy handling:
- With only two parameters to choose from (speed and time) the Minilys is operational immediately. The non screw-in system to block the tubes makes the Minilys easy-to-use.
Efficiency:
- Minilys is the only small homogenizer based on 3D motion that reaches 5 000rpm. This speed allows users to grind even hard samples like skin or hair.
The Minilys is the only personal homogenizer based on a 8-figure 3D-motion (multi-directional) movement of the tubes. The same high level of energy given to the beads inside each tube ensures equal homogenization efficiency for all processed samples. Thanks to this complex movement, the Minilys can disrupt any type of sample (even the hardest) in seconds with perfect reproducibility while limiting heat generation. The system used to secure the tubes is manual and very easy to use compared to a screw-in system that can be awkward.

Related Applications
Environment
Soil and environmental analysis often focus on microbiology studies and pollution impact on wildlife. Microorganisms included in a biological matrix are particularly challenging to lyse.
Microbiology
Microorganism studies are critical as they are used for bio-production and health research. They are difficult to lyse due to their thick cell wall, which makes nucleic acid extraction difficult.
Pharmacology
Pharmaceutical research starts with lead molecule identification from a natural or artificial model. In either case, the DMPK or animal toxicology models analysis requires the homogenization of tissues.
Forensic
Extremely hard samples such as bone, teeth, and hair are common in forensic laboratories. Popular downstream applications include DNA extraction from bone or teeth and drug extraction from hair.
Agronomy
Agronomy research into GMO analysis, food allergies and plant studies, often require grounded hard samples such as seeds, roots or frozen food, which are particularly hard to grind.
Cancer research
Hard tissues such as those from tumors can be particularly difficult to homogenize, and animal models are often used in cancer research. Precellys homogenizer is perfectly adapted to applications of this kind.
