Qiagen TissueLyser II
The Qiagen TissueLyser II can be used for medium- to high-throughput sample disruption for molecular analysis. The TissueLyser II disrupts multiple biological samples through high-speed shaking and is well-suited for disruption of human, animal and plant tissues, as well as bacteria and yeast.
Qiagen TissueLyser II features
Rapid disruption of up to 192 samples
For use with human, animal, plant tissue; bacteria and yeast
Adapters may be available
90-day warranty
Purification of DNA, RNA, miRNA, and protein is achieved with very reproducible results. (Adapters not included – inquire for availability.) Disruption and homogenization are achieved through the beating and grinding effect of beads on the sample material as they’re shaken together in the grinding vessels.
The TissueLyser provides rapid and efficient disruption of up to 192 biological samples, including animal and human tissues, plant tissues, bacteria, and yeast. Disruption and homogenization are achieved through the beating and grinding effect of beads on the sample material as they are shaken together in the grinding vessels.
Disruption is critically important in order to release the nucleic acids from the sample material. Homogenization of the material acts to shear the high-molecular-weight cellular proteins and carbohydrates that may otherwise reduce binding of DNA and RNA to silica membranes or magnetic particles. Sample disruption using, for example, a mortar and pestle does not result in efficient homogenization.
The TissueLyser both disrupts and homogenizes sample material in one simple and reliable step. The TissueLyser is easily programmed to provide variable speeds from 3 to 30 Hz (180–1800 oscillations/minute) and run times from 10 seconds to 99 minutes.

Testing
Most of our equipment is used and reconditioned. Our technicians test all equipment to confirm that it operates properly and to the manufacturer’s specifications. We can’t test for specific analytical applications. We do our best to simulate the conditions under which the equipment runs in a lab.
If you have particular testing requirements or requests please let us know. We'll address these requirements during testing.
Pictures
The photos above are representative. Please bear in mind that the equipment shown is currently in storage in our warehouse. In addition to testing each machine we will clean all the equipment thoroughly prior to shipment.
We often have multiple units of each model in stock. Sometimes we're unable to feature photos of every single unit. At your request, we can provide photos of the equipment in your order after testing and cleaning.

FAQ
Does the equipment come with a warranty?
Yes, all equipment from American Instrument Exchange comes with a warranty. Used/reconditioned/refurbished equipment is tested to make sure it operates to the manufacturer’s specifications and comes with a 90-day warranty (unless otherwise noted). New equipment comes with a warranty from the manufacturer.
How do you test and recondition the equipment?
Testing requirements vary across all the equipment categories we sell. Temperature controlled units are tested with NIST traceable probes and data loggers. Gaskets, external housing, glass, handles, controls and control screens are all thoroughly inspected for integrity and functionality. We test all equipment using the manufacturer's parameters and specifications to confirm that the unit operates properly. While we may not be able to test for specific analytical applications we do our best to simulate the conditions under which the equipment will be used in your lab. If you have particular testing requirements please let us know and we’ll work with you to make sure these are addressed during testing.
How do products ship from American Instrument Exchange?
We can ship products both nationally and internationally using a well-established network of transporters. Smaller items will ship via UPS. Larger equipment will be palletized and shipped either LTL or air-ride, depending on the specific equipment and/or delivery requirements. In many cases we can offer inside delivery. Customers are also welcome to make pick-up arrangements using their own preferred carrier.
All shipments are FOB Haverhill, MA. American Instrument Exchange will take reasonable steps to protect the equipment during shipment and the equipment will be fully insured. The customer will be charged for all shipping and handling charges, and fees incurred in the process of delivering the order.
For local customers in and around New England we can offer shipping and delivery using a local moving company trained by our staff to handle and deliver lab equipment. Our local movers can provide either standard dock-to-dock delivery or bring the equipment into your lab and set it in place.
Prior to signing the POD (Proof of Delivery), you are responsible for inspecting the goods for any damage. You MUST note any damage on the POD prior to letting the driver leave. This is to protect you, the receiver of the goods in the unlikely event of any damage. Once you sign the POD free and clear from damage, the goods are then deemed delivered in good order and no further claims would be applicable. This is the standard for all transportation so we want to protect you, our valued client.
Return and order cancellation policy
American Instrument Exchange will accept the return of any product that is not working as represented and could not be replaced or repaired to the customer’s satisfaction by American Instrument or a technician hired by/vetted by American Instrument Exchange’s during the warranty period. The customer will be responsible for proper packaging of the equipment and all included accessories.
Customers who cancel orders after refurbishing has begun or after delivery where there are no equipment performance issues will be subject to a cancellation and restocking fee of between 20% and 40% and responsible for the full total of the shipping & handling costs for both the delivery and the return of the equipment.
Are discounts available for educational or non-profit institutions, or for bulk purchases?
Yes – call or email us today with a list of equipment you’re looking for and we can potentially put together a quote that includes a discount.
How does your price matching policy work?
We strive to keep our pricing competitive and reasonable. If you find comparable items for sale at a lower price from other vendors please send us a link and or quote for the item and we’ll do our best to match or beat the price.
Can I see the equipment in person before committing to a purchase?
Customers are welcome to make an appointment to view equipment in our warehouse. Given our workload we may not be able to test or clean the equipment prior to your arrival if you have not committed to an order.
1023 Western Avenue is a working warehouse, not a showroom, and customers should dress appropriately and wear closed toe shoes.
Can I ship products that I purchased elsewhere to American Instrument for repair?
Yes – please see our repair services page for more information.
