Intestine Tissue Homogenizer & Homogenization Protocol

Ideal for Intestine Tissue Homogenization

Do you spend lots of time and effort homogenizing intestine tissue samples? The Bullet Blender® tissue homogenizer delivers high quality and superior yields. No other homogenizer comes close to delivering the Bullet Blender’s winning combination of top-quality performance and budget-friendly affordability. See below for a intestine tissue homogenization protocol.

Save Time, Effort and Get Superior Results with

The Bullet Blender Homogenizer

Consistent and High Yield Results

Run up to 24 samples at the same time under microprocessor-controlled conditions, ensuring experimental reproducibility and high yield. Process samples from 10mg or less up to 3.5g.

No Cross Contamination

No part of the Bullet Blender ever touches the tissue – the sample tubes are kept closed during homogenization. There are no probes to clean between samples.

Samples Stay Cool

The Bullet Blenders’ innovative and elegant design provides convective cooling of the samples, so they do not heat up more than several degrees. In fact, our Gold+ models hold the sample temperature to about 4ºC.

Easy and Convenient to Use

Just place beads and buffer along with your tissue sample in standard tubes, load tubes directly in the Bullet Blender, select time and speed, and press start.

Risk Free Purchase

Thousands of peer-reviewed journal articles attest to the consistency and quality of the Bullet Blender homogenizer. We offer a 2 year warranty, extendable to 4 years, because our Bullet Blenders are reliable and last for many years.  

Intestine Tissue Homogenization Protocol

Sample size

See the Protocol
microcentrifuge tube model (up to 300 mg) Small intestine samples
5mL tube model (100mg - 1g) Medium intestine samples

What Else Can You Homogenize? Tough or Soft, No Problem! 

The Bullet Blender can process a wide range of samples including organ tissue, cell culture, plant tissue, and small organisms. You can homogenize samples as tough as mouse femur or for gentle applications such as tissue dissociation or organelle isolation.
