Device and methods for subdividing and filtering gel material and extracting molecules therefrom

摘要

A method for subdividing a semisolid material using as a gel material using a mincing tube that has a closed end and has a mesh material disposed therein comprises: placing the semisolid material upon the mesh material of the mincing tube and centrifuging the mincing tube, the mesh, and the semisolid material to facilitate passage of the semisolid material through the mesh, thereby subdividing the semisolid material into fragments. A method for the division of a semisolid material using a mincing tube having a mesh material disposed therein, wherein the mincing tube is nested in a recovery vessel such that substances passing through the mesh material are captured in the recovery vessel comprises: placing a semisolid material in the mincing tube and centrifuging the mincing tube and the recovery vessel until the semisolid material is divided into fragments by the mesh material.
