Dear Clemens,
I used the "Panda" homegenizer (GEA Niro Soavi) to
disrupt E.coli cells: is really good, I always did the
maintenance on my own, is not very expensive and easy to
use. I found bigger models also in the big pharmas...so is
really reliable.

Hope to be helpful.
Cheers,
Barbara

Dear colleagues,
We are currently looking for new cell
disruptor/homogenizer equipment,
mainly for E.coli work.
We currently have a Branson sonifier and a Microfluidics
Fluidizer - the
latter one keeps causing trouble, and we think about a
replacement.
We previously also used an Avestin C-5 Emulsiflex,
required quite some
maintenance, and I inquired about a Constant Systems TS
0.75 and got mixed
responses from users (not to mention their outrageous
pricing).
My question:
What is your experience with Fluidizer, Emulsiflex, TS
0.75?
Is there any other great (low maintenance, affordable -
especially
concerning follow-up costs: repairs, replacement parts)
equipment I missed?
Thanks in advance for your comments
Best regards
Clemens
