Flexibility :
- Minilys offers the possibility to process either 3 tubes of 0.5, 1.5 or 2mL at once or 1 tube of 7mL.
Easy-handling :
- With only two parameters to choose (speed and time) the Minilys is immediatly operational. 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 allow to grind even hard samples like skin or hair.
The Minilys is the only personnal homogenizer based on a 8-figure 3D-motion (multi-directional) movement of the tubes. The same high level of energy is given to the beads inside each tubes providing the same homogenization efficiency to all the processed samples. Thanks to this complex movement, the Minilys can disrupt any type of samples (even the hardest ones) in seconds with a perfect reproducibility in limiting heat generation. The system used to secure the tubes is manual and very easy for the users compared to a screw-in system that can be painful.

Related Applications
Cancer research
Hard tissues such as those derived from tumors can be particularly difficult to homogenize, and many cancer researches utilize animal models. Precellys homogenizer is perfectly adapted to such applications.
Agronomy
Agronomy researches gathering GMO analysis, food allergies and plant studies, often require to grind hard samples such as seeds, roots or frozen food which are particularly hard to grind.
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.
Pharmacology
Pharmaceutical research starts with molecule leads identifications either from natural model or artificial.
In both cases, the DMPK or animal toxicology models analysis, require to homogenize tissues.
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
Microorganisms studies are critical as they are used for bio-production or health researches. They are difficult to lyse due to their thick cell wall, which makes nucleic acid extraction difficult.
