Tissue Homogenizers for Laboratory Sample Preparation
PRO Scientific rotor-stator tissue homogenizers provide fast, consistent processing of soft, fibrous, and other biological tissue samples. With a wide selection of homogenizers and generator probes, PRO systems can process samples in tubes as small as 0.5 mL through multi-liter volumes.
Variable speed control gives researchers flexibility across different tissue types and processing requirements, while PRO Quick Connect Generator Probes make it easy to match the appropriate probe to the sample volume and vessel.
Choosing the Right Tissue Homogenizer
The best tissue homogenizer setup depends on your sample type, sample volume, vessel size, throughput requirements, and desired processing result.
PRO Scientific homogenizers can be paired with a wide selection of PRO Generator Probes for processing samples ranging from approximately 0.5 mL to multi-liter volumes.
For laboratories processing multiple samples, the Multi-Gen 7XL Multi-Sample Generator Probes provide an efficient option for increasing throughput while reducing cross-contamination risk.

Fast Rotor-Stator Processing
PRO rotor-stator homogenizers use high-speed mechanical shearing to rapidly process biological tissue samples while providing variable speed control for different processing requirements.
Minimal Heat Generation
Many properly configured tissue homogenization procedures can be completed in approximately 10–30 seconds, helping limit heat generation during processing.
Standard Tubes & Beakers
PRO Generator Probes are compatible with a wide range of standard laboratory vessels, eliminating the need for proprietary beads or specialized processing tubes.
Tissue Homogenization with Temperature Control
Short homogenization times help limit heat buildup during processing. When samples must remain below ambient temperature, vessels can be homogenized while maintained in an ice bath or cooling bead bath.
Variable speed operation also provides additional control for applications where preservation of organelles, large molecules, viruses, or other biological structures is important.
Reduce Cross-Contamination Between Tissue Samples
When processing multiple samples or when cross-contamination is a concern, a PRO Homogenizer equipped with Multi-Gen 7XL Multi-Sample Stainless Steel Generator Probes provides an efficient solution.
The 12-probe design allows individual samples to be processed with a clean generator probe, helping reduce cross-contamination and eliminating the need to clean the same probe between every sample.
Tissue Homogenizer Package Options
PRO Scientific offers Homogenizer Package Kits that combine the components needed to begin homogenizing. Package selection can be based on the number of samples, sample volume, tube or vessel size, and throughput requirements.

Tissue Homogenizer Frequently Asked Questions
What is a tissue homogenizer?
A tissue homogenizer is laboratory equipment used to mechanically process biological tissue into a more uniform sample for downstream analysis. Rotor-stator homogenizers use high-speed mechanical shearing to rapidly disrupt tissue samples.
What type of homogenizer is used for tissue samples?
Rotor-stator homogenizers are commonly used for tissue processing because generator probes can be selected according to sample volume, vessel size, tissue characteristics, and desired processing result.
Can one tissue homogenizer process different sample volumes?
Yes. PRO Scientific homogenizers can be paired with different generator probes, allowing one homogenizer platform to accommodate a wide range of sample volumes and vessels.
Can tissue samples be kept cold during homogenization?
Yes. When temperature control is required, samples can be homogenized while the processing vessel is maintained in an ice bath or cooling bead bath.
How do I choose a generator probe for tissue homogenization?
Probe selection depends on sample volume, vessel diameter, tissue characteristics, desired processing result, and throughput. PRO Scientific offers generator probes for small-volume tubes through larger laboratory vessels.
