FastPrep®-24 5G bead beating grinder and lysis system
SKU: 116005500
The FastPrep-24 5G is a versatile sample disruption instrument designed to quickly and efficiently homogenize, grind, or lyse biological samples. A completely self-contained system, the FastPrep-24 5G eliminates the risk of cross-contamination and time-consuming clean-up associated with manual lysis methods. Samples are added to individual lysing matrix tubes and placed into sample holder adapters within the instrument. The unique, optimized motion of the FastPrep-24 5G shakes the samples in a tridimensional motion resulting in the collision of the sample material with the lysing matrix particles.
Intuitive software makes programming the FastPrep-24 5G fast and simple. The programmable touchscreen display allows for the use of pre-determined or custom homogenization speeds and duration times with a finger touch. Increased power features result in faster processing times and complete lysis of even the toughest samples.

1. What is the FastPrep-24 5G used for?
The FastPrep-24 5G is a programmable bead-beating homogenizer used to grind, homogenize, and mechanically lyse biological and environmental samples before downstream DNA, RNA, protein, or metabolite analysis.
2. How many samples can the FastPrep-24 5G process at once?
The included QuickPrep adapter accommodates up to 24 × 2 mL tubes in one run. Other sample formats require the appropriate compatible adapter.
3. What types of samples can be processed?
Applications include tissues, cultured cells, bacteria, yeast, fungi, and environmental materials such as soil or feces. Select a suitable Lysing Matrix and validated settings for each sample type.
4. How does the FastPrep-24 5G homogenize samples?
The instrument uses tridimensional shaking to drive collisions between the sample and beads in a Lysing Matrix tube. This mechanical action disrupts samples for subsequent extraction or analysis.
5. Can the instrument support DNA and RNA extraction?
Yes. The FastPrep-24 5G provides the homogenization or lysis step before nucleic acid extraction. Separate reagents and purification steps are required to recover DNA or RNA.
6. What speed and processing settings are available?
The FastPrep-24 5G instruction manual specifies a speed range of 4–10 m/s, processing times of 1–120 seconds, and 1–9 cycles, with configurable pauses. Appropriate parameters depend on the adapter, Lysing Matrix, and sample type.
7. Which Lysing Matrix is suitable for soil samples?
MP Biomedicals identifies Lysing Matrix E for environmental samples, including soil, sediment, and feces. The FastDNA SPIN Kit for Soil combines FastPrep processing with Lysing Matrix E and subsequent DNA purification. Refer to the relevant product documentation for details.
8. Where can I find protocols for the FastPrep-24 5G?
The official FastPrep-24 5G instruction manual provides information on instrument operation, programmable settings, and recommended application-specific programs. Refer to the manual and validated workflows before processing samples.
