Страница: 7 / 23

This bench device is one of the most advanced sample preparation
systems available today. UPHO was specifically developed for routine as
well as difficult and resistant samples, compatible with 3 types of grinding
and lyses thoroughly and quickly a wide variety of biological samples
including plant and animal tissues, cells, bacteria and yeast.
Each sample is simultaneously disrupted and homogenized by high-speed
shaking with a bead/beads in a sealed tube (bead milling), allowing an easy
and reproducible isolation of stable RNA, active proteins and full-length
genomic DNA.
The ergonomic design of the instrument ensures an easy loading of the
disposable centrifuge sample tubes that remain securely sealed during the
grinding process, effectively avoiding sample cross-contamination.
The homogenization speed (frequency) and duration run-times are
digitally controlled via UPHO’s intuitive touch screen, improving the
consistency for multi sample lots.
The different beads sizes (0,1 – 15 mm) and bead materials (wolfram steel,
metal, glass and ceramic) makes the grinding process more complete and
efficient with UPHO when compared to other available methods.
Moreover, thanks to UPHO’s design and options for the use of cryogenic
liquids to freeze samples, the sample temperature remains constant
throughout the homogenization process.
