The FastPrep-24 5G is a versatile sample disruption instrument designed to quickly and efficiently homogenize, grind, or lyse biological samples. Samples are added to individual lysing matrix tubes and placed into sample holder adapters within the instrument. The unique, optimized motion of the FastPrep-24 5G shakes the samples in a tridimensional motion resulting in the collision of the sample material with the lysing matrix particles.
