Super FastPrep-2™
Hand Held Homogenizer

An innovation in the sample lysis industry, the SuperFastPrep-2™ is a portable omni-directional bead beating system with a unique, patent pending balanced crankshaft– slider mechanism which creates the most aggressive bead beating lysis based on combination of cascade impaction, mechanical shearing, and if the sample is in buffer, shear flow lysis. The combined kinetics of the processes result in an amazing performance of 5 seconds or less lysing time for most samples.

A completely self-contained system, SuperFastPrep-2™ eliminates the risk of cross-contamination and time-consuming clean-up associated with manual lysis methods. Simply add sample and buffers to the Lysing Matrix tube containing specialized beads specific to your application. The ergonomic design ensures ease in loading sample tubes, which remain securely sealed during processing.

Designed for two 2 ml Lysing Matrix tubes, the SuperFastPrep-2™ is an attachment that fits on a high speed rotary tool. Attachment to the tool is done via a built-in threaded adapter. The rotary tool can be configured for AC power for use in a lab setting, or for DC power via rechargeable lithium ion batteries for use in the field.

A wide variety of specialized Lysing Matrix tubes containing beads of different materials, sizes and shapes have been tailored to guarantee thorough homogenization of samples from various sources as bacteria, yeast, fungi, botanical samples (including seeds), insects, mammalian tissues, (bone, skin, brain, tumor) and cultured cells.

High performance FastPrep® Purification Kits, when used in conjunction with the FastPrep-24™ Instrument, provide simple, ready-to-use methods for the release and subsequent purification of intact DNA, RNA, and proteins from virtually any source. Hide this content.
