BioSpec Products BioSqueezer, quick freeze 10-100 mg of soft animal and human tissue.

Supplier: BioSpec Products 1210

The BioSqueezer is used to "snap-freeze" (quickly freeze) 10-100 mg of soft animal and human tissue. It does the same thing as a classic freeze clamp but is easier to use and gives more reproducable results.Fresh tissue is compressed into a thin disc about the size of a small coin under pressure from a stainless steel clamp head that has been pre-cooled in liquid nitrogen or dry ice. Freezing occurs in a few milliseconds, thus offering a "snapshot" of metabolic events in the cells. The hard frozen disc is easily fragmented by hand or by grounding in a Cryo-Cup mortar and pestle for subsequent rapid extraction of labile nucleic acids, proteins and other intracellular products.
