APPARATUS FOR TISSUE PREPARATION

摘要

An apparatus (10) and method for preparing tissue samples for DNA, RNA or protein extraction of the present invention includes a reciprocating element (20) mounted to a frame (12) and connected to a plurality of tissue sample containers (52) containing tissue samples (62) and agitation members (60). By activating the reciprocating element (20), the tissue samples (62) are ground by the agitation members (60). A control circuit (18) is connected to the reciprocating element (20) for controlling the speed and duration of the agitation.
