The School of Biological and Chemical Sciences at QMUL (https://www.qmul.ac.uk/) is one of the UK’s leading life science research departments, with a multi-disciplinary approach to teaching and research. QMUL research staff are actively engaged in a wide range of projects across the broad sweep of biological, chemical and psychological sciences.
Petra Ungerer, Cell and Molecular Biology Laboratories Manager at QMUL commented ‘We approached Analytik to find a replacement for a high-pressure homogeniser, from another manufacturer, which had been unreliable and failed to achieve sufficient lysis of our tough yeast cells even after very many passes. We selected the LM20 Microfluidizer not only because it efficiently lysed a broad range of cell types but also was incredibly simple and easy to use which is very important as many different people need to use the machine regularly”. Dr Ungerer added “We also much appreciate the knowledgeable technical and applications support provided by Analytik which has enabled us to fully exploit the considerable capabilities of the LM20 Microfluidizer”.
