Tissue homogenates and cell lysates are the starting point for a wide variety of downstream applications in proteomics and other research areas. The extracted biomolecules are further characterized with methods, such as liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) and immunoassays, in order to identify biomarkers or understand cellular pathways.
Particularly proteomics requires thoroughly homogenized samples to obtain high protein yields even from small inputs like needle biopsies for sensitive and quantitative analyses. Furthermore, standardization, reproducibility, and parallelization are key to the processing of large numbers of samples in high-throughput environments.
BeatBox is a dedicated system for convenient, semi-automated sample homogenization of many tissue types and cells, which consistently delivers reproducible results even for challenging downstream analyses like LC-MS-based proteomics with scalable throughput of up to 96 samples.
BeatBox main features:
- Efficient and flexible: Processes 1-96 samples in only 10 minutes - in 96-well or single tube format
- Suitable for any laboratory: Small and silent instrument with intuitive and easy experimental setup
- Ensures reliable results: Revolutionary Gyuto bead technology preserves sample integrity through minimal heat creation and pre-assembled kits minimize the possibility of cross contamination
- Sample type versatility: for 1-50 mg of tissue or various prokaryotic and eukaryotic cell types. Compatible with different sample textures and rigidities, including FFPE tissue
