The Tissue-Tearor™ is a rotor/stator type tissue ... - Daintree Scientific

The Tissue-Tearor is a rotor/stator type tissue homogenizer which
can rapidly homogenize, disperse, and emulsify samples in 0.2 - 1000
ml of liquid. During operation, the suspended material is drawn into
the core of the homogenizer by a rotor turning at up to 35,000 rpm. The
material is repeatedly cycled through six narrow slits in the stator
where it is rapidly sheared and disintegrated by high frequency
mechanical action. Complete homogenization of tissues (muscle, liver,
breast tissue, etc.) is usually achieved in ten to thirty seconds. Little, if
any, heat is produced during the process.
Unlike most other Brands of rotor/stator type homogenizers, the
Tissue-Tearor comes complete - that is, with both a motor and a probe
(aka, generator, dispersing tool) - both included in one price.
- Use for mixing, emulsification, shredding, or c hopping.
- Practical answer for small samples.
- Easy to hold and light weight for one hand operation. Can also be stand mounted.
- Autoclavable stainless steel probes. Inert to aggressive solutions.
- All probes are interchangable probes and are easily removed for cleanup.
- High speed motor. Speed control from 5,000 to 35,000 rpm.
See chart below for details
on selecting the correct probe for your Tissue-
Tearor.

1 The Tissue-Tearor with the 14 mm diameter probe does not come with a plastic
storage stand.

. Additional probes (generators) can be ordered for $892 each. All are interchangeable with the standard TT motor.
Use Cat. No. 9853G and indicate probe size desired (example: 9853G-07).
Away from electrical lines The model 780CL Cordless TissueTearor includes a cordless motor, one probe of
your choice, one rechargable 9.6 volt battery pack and a one-hour plug-in charger. Indicate probe size desired
(example: 780CL-07). The maximum speed of the 780CL is 25,000 rpm. While the maximum speed is slightly slower
than the line-operated TissueTearor, it is quite adequate for homogenizing soft tissue like muscle, liver, brain, etc. The
price for the 780CL TissueTearor is the same as the 985370 series: $1,430. Additional battery pack (Cat #780CLBAT)
costs $145.
