Description
The French Press FA-078A is a laboratory instrument used for the efficient and consistent disruption of biological cells to extract intracellular materials. It works by applying extremely high pressure to force cells through a narrow valve, effectively breaking open the cell walls while preserving sensitive components like proteins and organelles.
Key Features:
-
High Pressure Capability: Can generate pressures up to 40,000 psi, ensuring effective lysis of even tough cell types.
-
Single-Pass Efficiency: Achieves thorough cell disruption in one pass, reducing sample handling and processing time.
-
Wide Application: Suitable for disrupting a variety of cells, including bacteria, yeast, plant, and mammalian cells.
-
Durable Construction: Made with stainless steel and other lab-grade materials to ensure long-term use and resistance to corrosion or contamination.
-
Pressure Control: Allows for fine-tuning of pressure levels to optimize lysis conditions for different sample types.
