Tenbroeck tissue homogenizer with T-han

Tissue homogeniser Tenbroeck 40 ml is a manual glass-style grinder intended for efficient disruption of biological tissues at a larger working volume. The Tenbroeck configuration with T-handle enables controlled rotation and vertical movement of the pestle, generating the shear needed to break down soft tissues for laboratory sample preparation.

This article is part of Homogenisers & dispersers, in Stirring, shaking & mixing.

With a nominal capacity of 40 ml, this homogeniser suits medium-volume protocols in molecular biology, biochemistry, cell biology and pathology where reproducible manual homogenisation is preferred. Operators can prepare tissue homogenates ahead of extraction, clarification or analytical assays while visually following the progress of grinding. The robust T-handle supports steady force application and comfortable handling during repeated strokes.

Supplied as one piece from manufacturer Witeg, the unit integrates easily into research and teaching laboratories that require a simple alternative to powered dispersers. Its 40 ml scale accommodates more material than smaller Tenbroeck models, reducing the need for multiple batches when processing larger specimens. Net weight is 0,244 kg, keeping the instrument manageable on the bench. Ideal for groups standardising manual tissue disruption workflows before downstream molecular or biochemical steps.
