Freeze Crusher "μT-48"

Rapidly crush bacterial cells and tissue fragments frozen in containers with liquid nitrogen. Multiple samples can be processed simultaneously in a sealed container.

The Freeze Crusher "μT-48" allows you to place tissue samples such as organs, bacterial bodies, and plants into a container along with a metal crusher, set it in a holder, and freeze it with liquid nitrogen, then crush it using impact from shaking. Since the crushing occurs while the samples remain frozen, it prevents the decomposition or denaturation of the target substances. The crushing time varies slightly depending on the sample, but it generally takes about several tens of seconds. This product does not have a refrigeration function, but the crushing will be completed before the samples fully thaw. Additionally, this product's method is effective for small samples, resulting in minimal loss. Disposable containers can be used, including 2.0mL microtubes, eliminating the hassle of cleaning and concerns about contamination. For particularly hard samples (such as bones, plastics, and rubber), we offer a stainless steel strong crushing container (sold separately) to ensure strength against intense shaking.
