How The BioPulverizer Works
- Place the BioPulverizer in a shallow container and cool thoroughly with either liquid nitrogen (preferred) or a dry-ice/alcohol mixture (next best).
- Place prefrozen tissue in the well of the mortar.
- Remove the mortar from the shallow container, place it on the lab bench and pulverize the tissue with one or two blows to the pestle with the hammer. The mass of the stainless steel will preserve the cold long enough for you to complete your pulverization without adding additional liquid nitrogen.
- Empty the powdered contents for subsequent homogenization or extraction procedures.
