Description
The BioNeb® cell disruption system was conceived and developed by Dr. Stefan J. Surzycki, Dr. Robert K. Togasaki, and Mr. Masahiko Kitayama at Indiana University Department of Molecular and Cellular Biology. Through the regulation of gas pressure (between a range of only 10 to 250 psi), the system can be adjusted precisely to:
- gently open cells
- completely disrupt cells
- achieve 90% disruption for many cells in only one or two passes
- generates no heat - it actually cools the sample
This efficient process takes very little time, as the unit can disrupt cells at a flow rate of 30 ml/minute.
