Features of the TissueLyser II system
TissueLyser II
The TissueLyser II provides high-speed shaking with oscillation frequencies of 3–30 Hz (180–
1800 oscillations per minute). Two clamps at the front of the instrument hold either a TissueLyser
Adapter Set or a Grinding Jar Set (Figures 1 and 2). A safety mechanism prevents the instrument
from operating until the transparent hood is lowered over the TissueLyser Adapter Set or Grinding
Jar Set.
Power is switched on and off at the power switch located at the back of the instrument. Oscillation
frequency can be adjusted in steps of 0.1 Hz using a keypad (Figure 3) located on top of the
instrument. Disruption time, from 10 seconds up to a maximum of 99 minutes, can also be set
using the keypad (Figure 3). The disruption parameters for a particular application (i.e.,
oscillation frequency and disruption time) can be stored in the memory of the TissueLyser II. Up to
9 disruption parameters can be stored.
Figure 1. TissueLyser II (closed). The transparent hood is lowered, and the clamps at the front of the instrument are empty.
Note
: The maximum oscillation frequency may drop down to 25 Hz, depending on local
fluctuations in the mains voltage.
