Homogenisers are widely used in biological sample preparation to break up (or homogenise) samples. This makes it possible to more easily extract macro and micro molecules such as DNA, RNA and proteins for further use including PCR. There is a wide choice of homogenisers on the market, ranging from those suitable for processing large sample volumes of up to a couple of hundred millilitres (...
There are some key questions to tackle when deciding what homogeniser will best suit your application. Camlab partner with Omni International, a leading global manufacturer of homogenisers who set the standard when it comes with outstanding product design, reliable performance and a uniquely diversified solution based product line. What volume range will you be working with ? Do you prefer a...

Toxicological analysis is performed on a wide array of samples including hair, blood, urine and organs for the detection of toxic substances or drugs of abuse. While compounds such as drugs and pharmacological compounds can be easily extracted from biological fluids, hair and tissue samples are more challenging.
Techniques to interrogate hair and tissue samples have proven valuable in detect...
With a wide range of homogenisers available, from ultrasonic units, to mechanical models with rotor stator blades, through to bead ruptors, how do you select the model suitable for your samples? [caption id="attachment_8485" align="aligncenter" width="300"] Ultrasonic? Rotor Stator? Bead mill? Which homogeniser is best?[/caption] There is no one type which is "best" - it all depends on wh...
Mechanical homogenisers are used for a range of tasks in the lab, from preparing biological samples for DNA analysis and PCR work, to creating emulsions or mixing liquids. This wide range of application means that a wide range of different probes are available to attach to the main motor. These vary greatly in size, material and capability - so how can you choose a suitable probe? [captio...

Homogenisers are the modern day pestle and mortar. They are used to blend unlike elements and make them homogenous or as one, and as such are an essential laboratory tool for sample preparation. Both of the new Stuart models are suitable for standard applications such as cell disruption, DNA and RNA isolation and simple emulsions. And of course they can be used for preparation of tougher sample...
Thanks for sharing such a great information.. It really helpful to me.. I always search to read the quality content and finally i found this in you post. keep it up!
I came across your article about "DPD Tablets" on Camlab Info, and it's a valuable resource for anyone seeking information about water testing and analysis using DPD tablets. Your explanation of their usage and significance in water quality monitoring is quite informative.
This article on nanocolor tube tests is a gem for analytical enthusiasts. The idea of zero calibration is intriguing, and your detailed explanation makes it accessible. The step-by-step process helps demystify the technique for beginners like me. The use cases you've highlighted, particularly in...
Grant have introduced the new Controlled Rate Freeze Thaw (CRFT), which is a liquid nitrogen and cryogen free controlled rate freeze and thaw system for cryopreservation in a wide range of applications. Cryopreservation is a process where biological materials such as cells, tissues...
A dipslide is a means of testing the microbial content of liquids. This is a common method of monitoring and measuring microbial activity within many systems and commonly cooling systems. Usually the use of a dipslide is the first line of defence for the testing of microbial issues that could be...
Purchasing items using donated funds without the burden of VAT will now save many Millions of pounds each year which can be put to better use in advancing scientific knowledge to provide new treatments and cures that will shape the medicines of the future.
Working with pressure/vacuum conditions in the lab is common but not all products are designed to withstand this. Products with appropriate geometry and wall thickness are suitable for working safely with pressure. For example, filtering flasks, desiccators, or flat flange vessels, as well as...
