Qiagen TissueLyser II High-Throughput Bead Mill Homogenizer for Biological Samples

The Qiagen TissueLyser II is a high-throughput, bead mill homogenizer engineered for parallel disruption of biological samples in tubes and 96-well plate formats. It delivers precise frequency control from 3 to 30 Hz (180-1800 oscillations/minute) and supports timed runs from 10 seconds up to 99 minutes, enabling tailored energy input crucial for molecular diagnostics, gene expression, and next-generation sequencing workflows.

Key technical features include:

• Capacity to process up to 192 samples per run using the 2 x 96 microtube adapter set or 48 samples per run with the 2 x 24 adapter set for 2 ml tubes.
• Designed to disrupt a broad range of biological materials such as human and animal tissues, plant materials, bacteria, and yeast using bead types like stainless steel, tungsten carbide, and acid-washed glass.
• Advanced keypad control with 0.1 Hz frequency steps and memory for up to 9 programmable setups, enhancing reproducibility in high-throughput molecular biology applications.
• Significantly reduced operational noise at 71 dB(A) compared to the original TissueLyser, supporting a quieter lab environment.
• Compact footprint measuring 14″ x 18″ x 10″ and a weight of 59 lbs, with versatile power input of 100-240V, 50/60 Hz suitable for global laboratory settings.

The TissueLyser II is widely adopted across biotechnology and clinical diagnostics laboratories, serving as an essential instrument for high-throughput nucleic acid extraction and sample homogenization in bioprocessing and synthetic biology research. Its compatibility with Qiagen spin-column and magnetic-particle kits optimizes workflows essential for molecular cloning, biomanufacturing, and cellular analysis pipelines.

This model is engineered for durability and integration into automated workflows, providing consistent, high-quality sample input for downstream applications in biomedical engineering and translational research. It stands as a critical tool for laboratories seeking scalable performance in molecular biology and biotechnology sample preparation.
