"It's a very useful device for making tissue lysates. We no longer use sonication for DNA, RNA and protein preparation from multiple tissue samples."
Prof. Michael Sherman, Boston University School of Medicine
-
"The Bullet Blender has made our clinical lab much more efficient; we get consistent results in less time. We cannot imagine going back to hand vortexing for our whole blood extractions."
Kimberly Dumont, supervisor, Dartmouth Reference Lab
-
"I can count on it for fast consistent results."
Dr. Denis Schewe, Mt. Sinai Medical Center, New York City
-
"What I've found is that the instrument works very well, is faster than the Bead Beater, accommodates more samples and is considerably quieter... [I] get consistently uniform cell breakage."
Dr. Joseph Geisberg, Harvard Medical School
-
"This past January [2008] we purchased a Bullet Blender from Next Advance. ... Let me begin by saying that we are extremely satisfied with the product! We have been able to implement it into a number of protocols that we use in our lab. Other labs in our department have also taken a liking to the unit and have been using it along side our lab."
Dr. Kyle Bender, Queen's University, Kingston, Ontario, CANADA

"Using the Dounce homogenizer, I can process eight tumors in an hour and a half. With the Bullet Blender, I can homogenize twenty in fifteen minutes."
Dr. Alejandro Adam, Albany Medical Center, New York
-
"Our extraction staff have loved the Bullet Blenders, they have really helped with the workflow!" ... "They do a great job homogenizing for us, and save our techs from repetititve motion injuries, and help with time management. We love them!"
Chantry Clark, CDAT Lead Technologist, ARUP Labs, Utah
-
"I love it!! ... I'm going to try and get another one."
Shari Kohut, MLT ASCP, Women and Children's Hospital of Buffalo

"We used to use a mortar and pestle grinder and it took hours and hours and hours to homogenize our samples. The Bullet Blender has increased our throughput tremendously."
Dr. Christopher Ward, University of Maryland
-
"The Bullet Blender homogenizes our samples so well, our protein yield is almost too good."
Dr. Donna Newman, North Carolina State University
-
"It does work great for westerns ... It's a lot faster."
Dr. Timothy Bartness, Georgia State University
-
"That machine is a lifesaver! ... It worked out so well, we're contemplating purchasing a second one."
Dr. Lou Casta, Fraunhofer USA
-
"...the results are great! ... We have run it on the Agilent chip and the RNA integrity numbers (RIN) are 10 and 8.6 for both of the samples."
Phuong Nguyen, Translational Genomics Group, Baylor Health
-
"We use the Bullet Blender to disrupt mycobacteria and different types of gram-negative bacteria for a variety of applications and are very happy with the results we get."
Martin Pavelka, Ph.D., University of Rochester, School of Medicine and Dentistry
-
"I love the Bullet Blender! We work on the mouse model for chlaymdia and often have to remove the uteri from the mice and homogenize by hand. I used it the other day and was amazed how well it homogenized the tissue. We can do 24 samples in just 5 minutes-amazing. What used to take us hours we can do in just 5 minutes."
