1. What is the FastPrep-96 Pro used for?
The FastPrep-96 Pro is a high-throughput bead-beating homogenizer designed for mechanical lysis and homogenization of biological samples. It supports sample preparation for downstream DNA, RNA, protein, and metabolite extraction workflows.
2. How many samples can the FastPrep-96 Pro process?
The FastPrep-96 Pro includes a Metal QuickFlex adapter that accommodates 96 × 2 mL tubes, allowing laboratories to process multiple samples in a single run. Other sample configurations may be supported with compatible adapters.
3. What types of samples can be homogenized using the FastPrep-96 Pro?
The FastPrep-96 Pro supports homogenization of biological samples, including tissues, cells, and microorganisms. Appropriate Lysing Matrix beads and processing parameters should be selected according to the sample type.
4. How does the FastPrep-96 Pro improve laboratory sample preparation?
The FastPrep-96 Pro combines rapid mechanical bead beating, adjustable processing parameters, and high-throughput sample handling to help laboratories streamline sample preparation and achieve consistent homogenization.
5. What accessories are included with the FastPrep-96 Pro?
The FastPrep-96 Pro includes a Metal QuickFlex adapter for 96 × 2 mL tubes, a Blue Clickmaster ratchet nut, and a power cord with a universal plug.
6. What is the difference between FastPrep-96 Pro and FastPrep-24 5G?
Both instruments use bead-beating technology for biological sample homogenization. The FastPrep-96 Pro is designed for high-throughput processing and includes an adapter for 96 × 2 mL tubes, while the FastPrep-24 5G is intended for smaller-batch sample preparation using compatible sample holders and accessories.
7. Can the FastPrep-96 Pro be used for high-molecular-weight (HMW) DNA shearing?
Yes. The FastPrep-96 Pro can support controlled mechanical shearing of high-molecular-weight (HMW) genomic DNA for selected long-read sequencing workflows. An MP Biomedicals application study demonstrates its use for DNA fragmentation under specific experimental conditions. Processing parameters should be optimized based on the sample and desired fragment size.
