Operating Procedures
This section describes how to operate the PowerLyzer 24 Homogenizer system. Before
proceeding, you should familiarize yourself with the features of the PowerLyzer 24
Homogenizer by referring to page 24.
Tube motion
Due to the equipment’s design and symmetry, the 24 tubes follow the same motion. This
ensures a consistent level of lysis and homogenization for each sample. The mixture
contained in the bead beating tubes moves throughout the tubes and moves primarily along
the vertical axis to allow for efficient homogenization. Tubes must be evenly balanced on the
tube holder.
The following bead beating tubes are recommended for use with the PowerLyzer 24
Homogenizer.
