Improved Plant and Insect Protocols
We now have an improved protocol for plant leaf homogenization and insect homogenization! Our scientists have found that a dry grinding step vastly improves homogenization efficiency. We are continuously working to come up with new protocols here at Next Advance so stay tuned for more exciting announcements.
RINO Screw-Cap Tubes are Here!
RINO® tubes are Next Advance’s own brand of screw-cap tubes for the Bullet Blender® Gold (BB24-AU) and the Bullet Blender Storm (BBY24M). These 1.5 mL tubes are strong, durable, and contain an integrated rubber seal in the cap to provide an extra layer of protection against sample loss. To learn more about RINO tubes and […]
GO Lab homogenizes beetle legs
The GoLab homogenized beetle legs in the Bullet Blender Storm for the Biology Department of Loyola University last month, saving countless hours. The GoLab is Quasar Instruments’ touring demonstration lab. Go to http://demolabtour.com/ and check when the lab will be near you.
Congratulations!
Congratulations to Cheikh Seye of Indiana University on winning a brand new Bullet Blender® Storm Homogenizer! Next Advance awarded the Storm to a visitor who stopped at our booth at a recent convention and filled out a short survey. Cheikh, our lucky winner, will be using the Storm to homogenize arteries, brain, liver and spleen […]
We’re exhibiting at 2 conferences in April
Come see our latest products at the AACR conference, April 7-10, Washington DC, booth 2261, and at Experimental Biology, April 21-23, Boston, booth 276.
Cold, cold, cold
Our new Gold model Bullet Blenders® hold samples near 4°C during homogenization. Yes, the samples are kept at 4°C within a couple of degrees. Powerful, consistent homogenization or cell lysis, high throughput, excellent value, and now, 4°s;C cold. Hot introductory pricing now in effect. Life is golden.
Got bacteria to lyse? The Bullet Blender can do it!
In this paper published in Biotechnology Letters the Bullet Blender® was used to lyse L mesenteroides cells prior to HPLC analysis.
Melanoma Tumors Homogenized in the Bullet Blender
The Bullet Blender® was used to homogenize melanoma tumors in a study from the H.B. Wells Center for Pediatric Research that shows how ultraviolet B radiation inhibits anti-tumor immunity.
Bullet Blender used in Fragile X syndrome study
In a study published in Cell, the Bullet Blender® was used to homogenize neocortex samples to study the posttranscriptional regulation of NOS1 by FMRP. This may contribute to cognitive dysfunction in people with Fragile X syndrome.
The Bullet Blender can homogenize the toughest samples, even bone!
Researchers from Pennington Biomedical Research Center utilized the Bullet Blender® to extract RNA from a mouse femur to examine gene expression in highly mineralized bones. Our durable stainless steel beads and Bead Lysis Kits allow researchers to homogenize the toughest samples quickly with ease. Curious about the Bullet Blender’s role in the experiment? See the […]
