 From Cell Disruption to Sample Homogenization
All types of biological samples have to be prepared for research in metabolomics, genomics, or transcriptomics, regardless of whether they are tough and fibrous plants, hard bones, soft muscles or tissue, or tough and viscous sputum. In addition, there are millions of cell-like bacteria, yeast, or algae, which have to be disrupted for applications such as protein extraction or RNA or DNA isolation.
In this free white paper RETSCH describes the various techniques to obtain representative analysis samples or carry out successful cell disruption via bead beating.

| | | | |  Researchers from the Max Planck Institute for Biology Tübingen made a groundbreaking discovery, revealing that an HMG-box gene in brown algae plays a crucial role in determining male sex. | | | | |  Aging may be less about specific "aging genes" and more about how long a gene is. Many of the changes associated with aging could be occurring due to decreased expression of long genes, say researchers in an opinion piece publishing March 21 in the journal Trends in Genetics. | | | | |  Human artificial chromosomes (HACs) capable of working within human cells could power advanced gene therapies, including those addressing some cancers, along with many laboratory applications, though serious technical obstacles have hindered their development. | | | | |  The central dogma proposed that genetic information predominantly transfers from DNA to RNA during gene expression to make a functional product protein. | |
