The Precellys lysing kits are dedicated to sample preparation for Precellys tissue homogenizers. They gather high quality material (glass, ceramic or stainless steel) and Dnase/Rnase free certification.
Efficient and high-quality homogenization of the tissues is essential before analyzing the molecules of interest. Precellys Lysing Kits are specifically designed by Bertin Instruments to be used with Precellys tissue homogenizers. After optimized tissue lysis, the extraction of nucleic acids (DNA extraction, RNA extraction) is perfected using the DNA- and RNA-free guarantee of Precellys lysing kits.

Get a quotePrecellys lysing kits are made of ceramic, glass, stainless steel or garnet, and are fabricated from high-quality materials. This, along with the different tube sizes available (0.3, 0.5, 2, 7 and 15 ml), provides great versatility for tissue homogenization. Over all, Bertin Instruments offers more than 30 different lysing matrices! The variety of Precellys lysing kits means that there is always a suitable solution for the homogenization of human, animal and plant tissues as well as microorganisms. Therefore, optimized homogenization reduces the processing time of the samples and consequently preserves the molecules of interest as much as possible while also ensuring an optimal recovered quantity. Choosing the right lysing kit for the tissue to be ground also limits the heating of the sample.
Choosing the right lysing kit for the tissue to be ground also limits the heating of the sample. Some types of samples require high energy grinding. This is the case for hair, bones, or plant seeds for example. In this context, the use of metal tubes ensures maximum tube strength in order to homogenize the samples as well as possible. In order to optimize the homogenization process of a given tissue, the Bertin Instruments Application Center helps you find the suitable protocol.
During the tissue homogenization, the initial inter- and intracellular compartmentalization is disrupted, releasing the enzymes directly in contact with their substrate. Proteases, which are usually responsible for protein degradation in the homogenized sample, are inhibited in Precellys Protein Safe Lysing Kits. The innovation of Bertin Instruments preserves the proteins in the samples and optimizes protein extraction to analyze them.

The Precellys Emulsion Kit provides a reliable and rapid method to generate injectable antigen or antibody emulsions in the context of immunological research.
Kit Emulsion
Kit Emulsion
Le Kit Emulsion Precellys offre une méthode simple, fiable et rapide pour générer des émulsions d’antigènes ou d’anticorps injectables dans le cadre de la recherche immunologique.
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.
