Pretty good instrument, useful in lab practice
Homogenization of bacteria, soil, plant tissue samples for DNA, RNA and proteins analysis
The homogenization need optimization but after that it was generally efficient, using appropriate set of lysing matrix we were able to dezintegrate even hard samples like wood

Great results and trustworthy.
Metabolomics and analytical chemistry
This is a great product that never let me down in 5 years of use; not day-to-day use though. It looks reproducible enough for my samples: plants, algae and corals.

Great machine but it can yield heat in samples.
Metabolomics
In my lab, we have used this product to process plants, cells, and corals. It never lets me down, and I never use commercial matrices. I mostly use 0.5mm zirconium beads. Great machine but it can yield heat in samples.

Reliable results are always obtained when using MP Biomedicals Products.
Detection and identification of fungal and bacterial organisms in soil samples
We have compared results from samples extracted with MP Biomedicals kits to other kits (both commercially available and 'in-house' methods), and MP Biomedicals products always prove to be superior. The ease of use with the Fast Prep system makes it the first choice among all researchers in our lab.

Quick, efficient and easy to use. Saves time and money.
Small scale preparations for in-vitro penetration experiments
Great piece of equipment. Even though we don’t use it for its intended purpose, the principle is the same. We have spent years using a ball mill homogenizer which creates a lot of heat and takes a long time to achieve preparations with a desired particle size. The Fastprep has reduced hours of ball milling and sonicating in water and ice to a couple of minutes. Plus with the CoolTeen adaptor we can keep preparations cold or practically frozen. The classic model is simple to use and the ability to save a method to use over and over again saves a lot of time. Customer services were great with sorting us out with all the right sized vials minus the beads as we add our own later in the production of our preparations. After a number of years certain highly used parts were starting to wear and we were able to get replacements quickly and at very good prices.

Useful but very fragile.
DNA extraction, protein purification
This is a very useful instrument. Unfortunately some parts of instrument are so fragile and materials used for construction are not resistant. As a result, often particular parts of machine are broken and need replacement. Replacements of pieces is very expensive.

Great for extractions, but the durability of a central part needs to be improved.
DNA extraction
The instrument is probably the standard for nucleic acid extraction from environmental samples. Thus the effectiveness for nuc extraction is high. My major criticism is that the spokes wheel for holding the tubes could be of much better quality. We have had to order a second spare part already. The price for the spare part is extemely high.

FastPrep-24™ Classic Instrument
Delivering the most effective grinding for all kind of sample in 40 seconds or less.
Known and recognized over the decades by the peers, the FastPrep-24™ Classic model delivers high speed and performance for sample disruption applications where it is necessary to grind, lyse, or homogenize difficult and routine samples.
That’s why it’s the right choice for an easy and reproducible isolation of stable RNA, active proteins and full-length genomic DNA or any other molecules or xenobiotics.
Applications include but are not limited to:
- Biological tissues, fluids and excretions
- Cell cultures
- Environmental sample
- Other inorganic solid matrices
In 40 seconds or less your samples are completely lysed! The sample tubes are solidly held during the processing and the single use design eliminates cross-contamination.
The highest power settings available ensure that macromolecules like DNA, RNA or proteins and smaller molecules even from difficult samples, are quickly liberated and preserves their structure and biological function.
A trusted sample disruption instrument for your lab!
- Timeless Excellence
- Dependable and Robust
- Flexible range of sample holders
- Classic Results, >8500 journal citations
