In biomedical research, the ability to reliably extract DNA and RNA from fresh tissue samples is important for molecular applications. It provides an efficient alternative to traditional and manual methods, reducing total processing time and helping with sample-to-sample consistency. We demonstrate the use of the Omni Bead Ruptor Elite™ bead mill homogenizer with stainless-steel lysing/grinding cylinders to yield robust concentrations of DNA and RNA, suitable for downstream molecular applications. The stainless-steel lysing/grinding cylinders are durable and can also facilitate cryogenic sample preparation.
