Description

The French Press FA-078A is a laboratory instrument used for the efficient and consistent disruption of biological cells to extract intracellular materials. It works by applying extremely high pressure to force cells through a narrow valve, effectively breaking open the cell walls while preserving sensitive components like proteins and organelles.

Key Features:

• High Pressure Capability: Can generate pressures up to 40,000 psi, ensuring effective lysis of even tough cell types.

• Single-Pass Efficiency: Achieves thorough cell disruption in one pass, reducing sample handling and processing time.

• Wide Application: Suitable for disrupting a variety of cells, including bacteria, yeast, plant, and mammalian cells.

• Durable Construction: Made with stainless steel and other lab-grade materials to ensure long-term use and resistance to corrosion or contamination.

• Pressure Control: Allows for fine-tuning of pressure levels to optimize lysis conditions for different sample types.

Specifications:

• Model: FA-078A

• Maximum Pressure: 40,000 psi

• Sample Capacity: Varies depending on the pressure cell in use

• Operation: Manual or assisted mechanical operation

• Power Requirements: Standard lab power (varies by configuration)

• Design: Compact, benchtop format suitable for most laboratory setups

The French Press FA-078A is ideal for researchers requiring gentle yet effective cell disruption, offering a balance of power, precision, and reliability for sample preparation workflows.
