Excellent compact device for small batch sample processing!
To analyze monoamines and metabolites in brain tissue
I find this homogenizer very user-friendly, it has three stands for 3000 to 5000 rpm which you can easily switch between. The time settings are very easy to adjust as well. It's a small, compact device that fits easily in between other devices on the bench. I wouldn't recommend to use it for high-throughput sample processing, as you can only homogenize up to three samples a time (in 2ml tubes). For small batches of samples, however, this is definitely an asset for your lab! Bertin has a set of protocols available on their website which you can help you to determine and experiment with the settings for your protocol (1x 60s, 3x 30s, depending on tissue types etc.). We haven't had to use after sales care yet, but we do have a good experience with the Bertin customer service and their recommendations.

Tremendous, useful and time saving instrument. I like it very much.
Separation of target tissue
This is very effective tool in our laboratory as it is trouble free while extracting a sample targeted tissue for cytological or histological analysis.

Good results, reduce homogenization processing time with improvement of surface
Nerve Tissue homogenize and following RNA work
Overall of shape and function is reasonable. Tube and pestle shapes are perfect match. However, if the surface is not smooth, it might be helpful to grind nerve tissue

Great tool to rapidly extract proteins from tissue samples.
Preparation of mouse tissue samples for Protein extraction
Very easy to operate and a very small benchtop equipment. It takes a while to adapt current protocol to maximise extraction, however, guidelines for each tissue type are provided. Overall, it is a useful tool to have.

Useful and very friendly machine
tissue homogenisation
Very easy to use. It is possible to select type of homogenization, but volume of tubes is not too big.

Minilys is a flexible and personal homogenizer for cell/sample disruption ideal for daily lab workflow.
Minilys is a small and compact homogenizer for fast hands-free disruption of a wide range of biological samples (prior to DNA, RNA, proteins or drug extraction) at a low throughput level. Flexible (0.5ml, 2ml, 7ml lysing tubes) and easy to handle, it is the only small homogenizer that works in 3D motion, following standard protocols and providing more homogeneous results. Moreover, Minilys is extremely budget-friendly.
Minilys Tissue Homogenizer Features:
- Efficient & rapid - Minilys offers the same bead-beating technology and extremely high quality as the Precellys® 24 Touch and the Precellys Evolution. It is the only small homogenizer on the market that disrupts samples using 3D motion and is by far the most efficient one.
- Safe & easy-handling - Minilys ensures easy-handling and safe operations. Its innovative cut-out system automatically stops the operation if the lid is not firmly closed or is opened while running, thus providing additional safety guarantees for users.
- Flexible & ready-to-use - Minilys accommodates a wide range of sample types from animal & plant tissue to microorganisms. With 3 different speeds ranging from 3000 to 5000 rpm, Minilys can handle either low-velocity agitation or harsh homogenization. Detachable tube-holders are adapted to three volumes of lysing tubes (0,5ml, 2ml or 7ml), providing the flexibility to vary your sample size and volume.
