Product Description
PRO Quick Connect generator is engineered for multiple applications and long service life. Made from highly durable 316 stainless steel, they can be completely sterilized by hot air, autoclaving, flaming or chemical processes, either as an assembly or disassembled into components. Quick Connect generator design allows for the insertion or removal of the generator with an easy quarter-turn. Saw tooth design allows for additional cutting action during homogenization.

When it comes to homogenizing, the key is the generator probe as this is the item that actually goes into your sample. With a PRO Quick Connect Generator Probe being used to homogenize your sample, you will get consistent results each and every time.
All PRO Generator Probes are precision crafted to ensure efficient and effective homogenization and are manufactured out of 316SS to be chemically compatible with your sample and reagents.
How does a rotor-stator probe work?
The rotor stator homogenizer or generator type homogenizer was first developed to make dispersions and emulsions, and most biological tissues are quickly and thoroughly homogenized with this apparatus. Appropriately sized cellular material is drawn up into the apparatus by a rapidly rotating rotor (blade) positioned within a static head or tube (stator) containing slots or holes.
There the material is centrifugally thrown outward in a pump like fashion to exit through the slots or holes. Because the rotor (blade) turns at a very high rpm, the sample is rapidly reduced in size by a combination of extreme turbulence, cavitation and scissor like mechanical shearing occurring within the narrow gap between the rotor and the stator. Since most rotor stator homogenizers have an open configuration, the product is repeatedly recirculated. The process is fast and depending on the toughness of the tissue sample, desired results will usually be obtained in 15-120 seconds.
For the recovery of intracellular organelles or receptor site complexes, shorter times are used and the rotor speed is reduced.
