The compact and versatile Barocycler NEP2320 fills an important need for all laboratories that want improved sample preparation in genomics, proteomics, transcriptomics, and metabolomics. The NEP2320 is a safe and versatile sample preparation instrument designed to use a minimum amount of laboratory bench space, while still providing…the Power of PCT. The mechanisms of action of the PCT SPS differ significantly from other sample preparation methods. Specifically, lysis occurs when samples are subjected to alternating cycles of ambient and high pressure, up to 35,000 psi, in the hydrostatic reaction chamber of the Barocycler. The NEP2320 uses available laboratory compressed air, bottled compressed air, or a stand-alone compressor to create high and ultra-high hydrostatic pressure inside the Barocycler reaction chamber. Exquisite control of the PCT process is accomplished by specialized components, a programmable controller, and software. The NEP2320 quickly and efficiently processes one sample at a time. Although smaller than the NEP3229, the NEP2320 still provides the user with many of the features of the Barocycler NEP3229, including temperature control.
The Barocycler NEP2320 uses the same PULSE Tubes (Pressure Used to Lyse Samples for Extraction) as the NEP3229. PULSE Tubes transmit the Power of PCT from the Barocycler instrument to the sample. The PULSE Tube is placed in the reaction chamber of the Barocycler NEP2320, submerging it in the chamber fluid, which is distilled water.
