High-Throughput Tissue Homogeniser
The Turbo Grinder is a high-throughput tissue homogeniser designed for fast and even disruption of a wide range of biological samples. Using high-speed vertical vibration and bead-based grinding, it processes up to 576 samples simultaneously—delivering consistent, contamination-free results. Ideal for molecular biology, genomics, and biochemical research, it combines performance, reliability, and user-friendly operation. Such consistency is essential for downstream automated pipetting systems, which rely on uniform sample quality to ensure accurate reaction setup in high-throughput applications. By standardising sample disruption across hundreds of wells, the system generates a uniform starting material for accurate high-throughput PCR analysis.

PCR Turbo Grinder
The Turbo Grinder is a high-performance automated tissue grinder and tissue homogeniser designed for reliable, large-scale sample preparation. It is capable of efficiently homogenising plant tissues (roots, stems, leaves), seeds, animal tissues (muscles, fur, bones), bacteria, fungi, and other biological materials.
Using stainless steel, high-density glass, or zirconia beads, it applies intense mechanical shear force to break samples into individual cells or small fragments. The system’s high-frequency vibrating vertical plate drives samples in a two-dimensional motion, causing the grinding media to deliver high-frequency impacts and compression—resulting in rapid and even disruption. Such uniform disruption across hundreds of wells is essential for high-throughput PCR workflows, where reproducibility and consistency directly influence data quality and decision making.
