PBI-Shredder O2k-Set: Auxiliary O2k-Tool for tissue homogenate preparation


Reference: Product details and purchasing information

Specifications

The PBI-Shredder O2k-Set includes all the PBI-Shredder components for a standardized approach to prepare homogenates of various tissues with high reproducibility of mitochondrial yield and mitochondrial function. For more information for applications with high-resolution respirometry (HRR) including PBI-Shredder specifications and information (i.e., safety information, product use limitations and warranty information, and the Product Specification Sheet by Pressure BioSciences Inc (PBI): Manual PBI-Shredder


Instructions

Using the Shredder-Tube Cap Tool, a serrated Shredder-Ram is inserted into one of the Shredder-Tubes, pressing the sample between the serrated surface of the Shredder-Ram and the lysis disk of the tube. Ice-cold mitochondrial medium (200-700 ”L MiR06 or MiR06Cr) is then added to the opposite Cap side of the tube, which is closed by a Shredder-Screw Cap, again using the Shredder-Tube Cap Tool. The filled Shredder-Tube is placed into the pre-cooled Shredder Base, with the Ram side facing downwards, and the SG3 driver is placed onto the Cap. The force setting lever is placed into the position (1-low, 2-medium), and shredding for 20-30 s is sufficient for several different tissues. The processed homogenate is sampled from the Shredder-Tube by unscrewing the Shredder-Screw Cap using the Shredder-Tube Cap Tool and removing the cap, for transfer of the sample into the O2k-chamber.

Traditional methods for homogenization

  • Homogenizer-based protocols that require extensive operator experience (highly skilled personnel) to obtain reproducible high-quality preparations.
  • These methods limit dissemination, impede scale-up, and contribute to difficulties in reproducing experimental results over time and across laboratories.
  • During manual homogenization it is difficult to know when sufficient tissue disruption has occurred - overhomogenization!
  • The current protocols rely on Dounce, Potter-Elvehjem, and rotor/stator shearing homogenization:
