Covaris cryoPREP CP02

Covaris cryoPREP CP02 Automated Dry Pulverizer

• Part number: 500001
• Single tube capacity
• 90-day warranty

The Covaris CP02 cryoPREP Automated Dry Pulverizer uses a calibrated and controlled mechanical force to cryofracture flash-frozen tissues within a mass range of 15 mg to 2 g. The dry pulverization process disrupts the extra-cellular tissue matrix and increases the tissue surface area, thus improving the extraction efficiency of biomolecules, while minimizing sample loss during the process. The increased surface area reduces the distance a stabilizing extraction buffer needs to diffuse during subsequent lysis steps.

Covaris dry cryo-pulverization systems have been designed to simplify tissue processing workflows. Tissues are collected in Covaris tissueTUBEs (available from Covaris), flash frozen in liquid nitrogen, pulverized, and then transferred to a Covaris tube for extraction powered by Adaptive Focused Acoustics (AFA). The Covaris cryoPREP system is used to process tissues and extract biomolecules from a wide range of masses for downstream analyses including next-generation sequencing (NGS), qPCR, Microarrays, Mass Spectrometry (MS), GC-MS, NMR, and other detection methods.

Steps for using the Covaris cryoPREP CP02 Automated Dry Pulverizer: Flash freeze the sample in liquid nitrogen to thermally stabilize biomolecules. Samples may be stored at -80 °C. Dry pulverize the sample to increase surface area and disrupt extracellular matrix without the need for use of organic solvents. Acoustically extract biomolecule in an appropriate stabilizing buffer prior to purification or analysis.

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. While we can’t test for a specific analytical application, we will do our best to simulate the conditions under which the equipment will be run. If you have particular testing requirements or requests please let us know and we’ll work with you to make sure these requirements are addressed during testing.

The photos above are representative. Please bear in mind that the equipment shown is currently in storage in our warehouse and that 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 and 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 it has been tested and cleaned.
