Description
Tissue homogeniser Potter Elvehjem 0,5 ml is a laboratory tool for controlled mechanical disruption of soft tissues and cell suspensions at small working volumes. The Potter-Elvehjem configuration pairs a precision tube with a PTFE pestle mounted on a metal shaft, allowing smooth manual grinding and shearing along a defined clearance. With a 0,5 ml capacity, it bridges micro-scale and slightly larger aliquot preparations where sample economy still matters. The PTFE pestle surface limits sticking of biological material and supports reproducible stroke action, while the metal shaft maintains alignment and mechanical stability during use. Typical applications include biochemistry, molecular biology and subcellular fractionation when gentle homogenisation is preferred to high-shear or ultrasonic methods. This unit from manufacturer Witeg is supplied as a single piece with a net weight of 0,013 kg and integrates easily into standard open-bench workflows. It is a practical option for research and analytical laboratories needing reliable small-volume tissue processing without powered equipment.
This article is part of Homogenisers & dispersers, in Stirring, shaking & mixing.

Questions about Potter Elvehjem tissue homogenizer 0.5 ml
What is this article?
Potter Elvehjem tissue homogenizer 0.5 ml is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Witeg for laboratory use. It sits in Homogenisers & dispersers, inside Stirring, shaking & mixing, in Instruments de précision.
A homogeniser or disperser uses a rotor inside a stator to tear a sample and disperse it. Tip diameter and speed decide the particle size. A generator for 2 mL and a generator for 1 L are different tools on, sometimes, the same drive.
Stirring keeps a mixture uniform or helps a solid dissolve. A magnetic stirrer spins a bar inside a closed vessel. An overhead stirrer drives a shaft when the liquid is viscous or the volume is large. A vortex mixer agitates a tube. A shaker moves a whole rack or a plate. The shape of the impeller and the speed decide whether the liquid turns over or merely spins. The vessels being stirred are indexed under ISO laboratory glassware.
