The Precellys Emulsion Kit provides a reliable and rapid method to generate injectable antigen or antibody emulsions in the context of immunological research.

When studying the effect of drugs on tumor cells, obtaining a cell culture image is a challenge for cell biologists. InCellis, Smart Cell Imaging System, allows you to get clearer images as it is specifically designed for live cell imaging.

Soil and environmental analysis often focus on microbiology studies and pollution impact on wildlife. Microorganisms included in a biological matrix are particularly challenging to lyse.

Pharmaceutical research starts with lead molecule identification from a natural or artificial model. In either case, the DMPK or animal toxicology models analysis requires the homogenization of tissues.

Extremely hard samples such as bone, teeth, and hair are common in forensic laboratories. Popular downstream applications include DNA extraction from bone or teeth and drug extraction from hair.

Agronomy research into GMO analysis, food allergies and plant studies, often require grounded hard samples such as seeds, roots or frozen food, which are particularly hard to grind.

Hard tissues such as those from tumors can be particularly difficult to homogenize, and animal models are often used in cancer research. Precellys homogenizer is perfectly adapted to applications of this kind.

Microorganism studies are critical as they are used for bio-production and health research. They are difficult to lyse due to their thick cell wall, which makes nucleic acid extraction difficult.
