Really fast!

 

Average Rating 4.3

Application Area:

Extraction of metabolites from plant material

This radically improved our efficiency within the laboratory as it is really fast for homogenizing samples especially tough samples. It is also really simple and easy to use.

Best tool to deliver rapid results.

 

Average Rating 5.0

Application Area:

FastPrep-24 5G sample preparation system

On epidemics areas this make a huge difference in analyzing as many exams as possible due to the range of tropical diseases, the FastPrep-24™ is our best tool to deliver rapid results, faster - so it is a great way out through epidemic times.

Not really easy to use!

 

Average Rating 2.0

Application Area:

Analyse RNA in tissue samples

Already having a FastPrep FP120 in the lab, we bought this device for the dry ice rack mainly. After several tests, we found that this device is not very easy to use, it has the major disadvantage of having to remove the CamLock, the lid and all the tubes of the rack (CoolPrep) to see if grinding is correct. The CoolPrep rack is not practical because the dry ice comes out through the holes when the rack is not filled and sometimes freezes the tubes! The CamLock breaks, in a year two broke.

Good product for homogenization and extraction.

 

Average Rating 3.3

Application Area:

Metabolomics

Easy to use, for grinding and homogenization of different matrices. Quick and reproducible, Wide choice of grinding tubes. Fast and responsive after-sales support. Small defect, the QuickPrep 24 x 2 mL holder is fragile if it is not properly positioned.

Review Date: 19 Aug 2019 | MP Biomedicals

The best way I know to lyse tough samples with high reproducibility.

 

Average Rating 4.7

Application Area:

Proteomics and genomics

Really fast and easy to use, noise level quite low compared to the power of the instrument, does not use much bench space. Moreover the efficiency and reproducibility of the results are outstanding. Once you try it, you start wandering how you could do without it. My only regret is the lid closing system, the striker bolt is very fragile and needs to be replaced quite often. Fortunately, you get two of them as spare parts when you buy the instrument and, should you need more, they are very cheap and the great after-sales service will help you deal with that.

Essential equipment in our lab!

 

Average Rating 5.0

Application Area:

Remove bacterial biofilm from substrate, cell lysis for DNA / RNA extraction

Very easy to use and has stood up to almost daily use for two years. Also easy to clean/decontaminate, which is important in a containment lab. After sales support has been used to select lysing matrices for a range of applications, very happy with advice and willingness to send samples of tubes/matrices so we can optimize protocols.

The FastPrep-24™ 5G Instrument is quite simply the most advanced sample preparation system ever!

The only high-speed benchtop homogenizer featuring microprocessor-controlled, Hi-Def Touch Screen Programming makes the 5G the ultimate in ease, speed and performance for sample preparation applications where it is necessary to grind, lyse, or homogenize difficult and routine samples, allowing easy and reproducible isolation of stable RNA, active proteins and full-length genomic DNA. Applications include but are not limited to:

  • biological tissues, fluids and excretions
  • cell cultures
  • environmental sample
  • other inorganic solid matrices.

The FastPrep-24™ 5G Instrument uses a unique, optimized motion to disrupt cells through the multidirectional, simultaneous beating of specialized Lysing Matrix beads on the sample material. Samples and buffers are added to Lysing Matrix Tubes containing specialized Lysing Matrix beads, supplied ready-to-use, certified nuclease-free and in a variety of sample type specific compositions.

The sample tubes remain securely sealed during the processing and the single use design eliminates cross-contamination. Program parameters are easily set using the touch screen user interface, or choose from many Recommended Programs stored on the 5G's onboard computer.

With a simple touch of the "run" button, in less than a minute your samples are completely lysed, super fast, every time! The highest power settings available ensure that DNA, RNA and proteins, even from difficult samples, are quickly liberated into the protective buffer, thus preserving their biological function.

FastPrep-24™ 5G Exclusive Features

  • Powerful - Highest speed range available, ideal for a wide range of applications and protects your sample
  • Optimized - Cycle and pause programmable for true walk-away operation
  • Convenient - >70 Recommended Programs for easy optimizations
  • Intuitive - Interactive user-friendly interface and touchscreen
  • Flexible - Optional sample holders allow processing from 2 - 50 mL tubes, under ambient or cryogenic conditions
  • Smart - Integrated USB Port allows for software updates to be installed, and run history data to be downloaded to a laptop
  • Safe - Electromechanical dome latch automatically secures processing chamber, with a simple finger touch
  • Complete - Lysing Matrix Tubes and Purification Kits from One Source
