The efficient and highly specific removal of His tags offered by the TagZyme system makes it the ideal choice for the generation of proteins free from vector-encoded amino acids
Disruption at full speed for as little as 30 seconds is usually sufficient to release nucleic acids or proteins from starting material.
Disposable probes enable convenient and flexible sample disruption in a wide range of volumes and formats.
Using a disposable probe for each sample helps to prevent cross-contamination, which is especially important for highly sensitive downstream applications, such as real-time PCR or microarray analysis.
Use of a disposable probe also provides time savings as the probe does not have to be cleaned after homogenisation of each sample.
The TissueRuptor is an integral part of Qiagen's complete solution for tissue management in gene expression, genotyping, and proteomics applications.
Optimised protocols are available for sample disruption prior to manual or automated nucleic acid or protein purification, enabling a streamlined, efficient workflow.
