The challenge

Tissue homogenates and cell lysates are the starting point for a wide variety of downstream applications in genomics and proteomics. The extracted biomolecules are further characterized with methods, such as genotyping, immunoassays, and mass spectrometry, in order to identify biomarkers or understand cellular pathways.

Particularly proteomics requires thoroughly homogenized samples to obtain high protein yields even from small inputs like needle biopsies for sensitive and quantitative analyses. Furthermore, standardization, reproducibility, and parallelization are key to the processing of large numbers of samples in high-throughput environments. However, scientists will require a homogenization method that allows for high flexibility and versatility to cover a broad range of projects.

The solution

BeatBox® is a dedicated system for convenient, semi-automated sample homogenization of many tissue types and cells. Flexible regarding input amounts from 1-50 mg, it consistently delivers reproducible results even for challenging downstream analyses like LC-MS-based proteomics with scalable throughput from 1-96 samples.

Results

`

"Busy MS facilities such as our own rely on efficient, fast, and robust tissue preparation. After a very positive evaluation of the new scalable BeatBox® solution from PreOmics®, we immediately adopted the workflow. Having such a quiet, compact tissue preparation solution on our bench day by day can only further serve to increase our efficiency. Furthermore, BeatBox® allows us to improve our MS facility utilization day by day. Our partnership with PreOmics® remains strong and one where we can exchange ideas and bring long-term outcomes together."

"Beatbox has become an indispensable tool in our laboratory at the Max Planck Institute of Biochemistry, Munich. It is our go-to instrument for tissue homogenization, whether dealing with needle biopsy samples from clinics or bulk tissues. Its compatibility with 96-well microtiter plates seamlessly integrates the homogenization process with the iST proteomics sample preparation kit, right through to LC-MS sample injection."
