Qiagen Tissuelyser II Tissue Homogenizer Mixer Mill

Technical Notes:

The digital display operates clearly and all keypad controls respond correctly. The lid safety interlock functions as intended: the F4 error code activates when the lid opens, as expected, and clears when it closes. The clamp locking mechanism, which secures the adapter or grinding jar sets, operates as intended. A full-range test run, from the lowest to the highest oscillation frequency setting, was completed without issue. See attached video for further detail.

Model Description:

The Qiagen TissueLyser II is a high-throughput bead mill homogenizer used to disrupt and lyse biological samples for downstream nucleic acid, protein, or metabolite extraction. It's a staple in molecular biology, genomics, and clinical research labs handling plant, animal, or microbial tissue.

Highlights

• Simultaneously processes up to 192 samples using adapter sets and grinding jars
• Rapid oscillation disrupts tough tissues, cells, and biological matrices in seconds
• Compatible with standard microcentrifuge tubes and collection microtube racks
• Ideal for DNA, RNA, and protein extraction workflows requiring consistent, reproducible lysis
