SLM Aminco French Press
The SLM Aminco French Press consists of a hydraulic press and a pressure cell (sold separately; call for availability), offering versatility for various applications. Researchers rely on it for tasks such as cell disruption, subcellular fractionation, enzyme preparation, bacterial disintegration, plant tissue breakdown, and cell extract preparation, among others.
During operation, samples are pressurized within the cell and then slowly released through the outlet valve. This controlled pressure release causes a sudden drop, effectively bursting the cells. With its precise functionality, the French Press is an indispensable tool for achieving consistent and effective sample processing in laboratory environments.
Designed for precision, it efficiently processes samples without compromising the integrity of sensitive materials. Its robust construction and straightforward operation make it suitable for research applications requiring consistent and reproducible results.
