Savant FastPrep

FastPrep Homogenizer and
Isolation System

Savant FastPrep

The FastPrep Instrument can simultaneously lyse up to 12 samples with its patented vertical, angular motion. This rapid, reciprocating "figure-8" is unique to the FastPrep Instrument, and causes a sample to be pulverized by specialized lysing matrices from multiple directions at once. The FastPrep Instrument fits anywhere on the benchtop and is simple to operate. First, samples and buffer are added to impact-resistant 2 ml tubes pre-filled with specialized lysing matrix particles. The user places between 1-12 tubes into the sample holder and easily secures them with locking clamps. Digitally program speeds between 4-6 meters per second and times up to 45 seconds and press "run". with hardly any noise and in no time at all, the FastPrep Instrument and lysing matrix homogenize your sample while you wait!

The FastPrep is unique system for isolating DNA, RNA and protein from virtually any type of cell. The FastPrep homogenizer uses a combination of mechanical disruption and Qbiogene matrix isolation kits. Specialized bead matrices are added to whole cells and are 100% homogenized in ten to fifteen seconds. Up to twelve samples at one time.

This system can be used for isolating DNA, RNA and protein from:

	Transgenic Mouse Tails
	Brainstem from Bovine and Deer for BSE and Chronic Wasting Disease Testing
	Difficult Vegetable Products such as seeds, stem, bark, whole needles and leaves
	Bone
	Fiberous Muscle Tissue
	Soil

Savant FastPrep

The FastPrep System combines two products into one: A multi-tube homogenizer and a molecular isolation kit. This system consists of the FastPrep homogenizer machine and Qbiogene/BIO101 System Matrix and Isolation Kits. Samples are homogenized and isolated in individual micro tubes eliminating the use of metal probes and shearing blades and their associated contamination and cleaning problems. Specialized bead matrices are added to whole cells and are 100% homogenized in 10 to 15 seconds. Up to twelve samples at one time.
