Homogenization of bat tissues and hair with the Omni Bead Ruptor Elite bead mill homogenizer
Bats are essential to the biodiversity critical to sustaining ecosystems, and at the same time, they are also widely studied because they are capable of transmitting viruses to the general human population. Both ecological and animal scientists and human disease researchers depend on reliable sample processing solutions such as bead mills to process tough samples in a safe manner. We evaluate protocols utilizing bead milling in sealed tubes, which helps minimize both risk of dispersion of potentially hazardous materials and risk of cross-contamination without diminishing efficiency, via the Omni Bead Ruptor Elite bead mill homogenizer to process bat fur and skin via both dry-grinding and wet-grinding methods.
