The Kimble™ Kontes™ Pellet Pestle Cordless Motor is a compact, lightweight, handheld device designed to drive disposable pellet pestles for the mechanical disruption of soft tissue, homogenization of samples, or resuspension of pellets directly in 0.5 mL or 1.5 mL microcentrifuge tubes.
Whether operated manually or motor-driven, the pestle-motor system offers an efficient solution for preparing biological samples for DNA/RNA extraction, protein isolation, or cell lysis. The motor provides consistent torque and controlled rotation, making it ideal for routine and repetitive sample processing workflows in molecular biology and clinical laboratories.
Key Features
- Cordless and portable: Easy to handle and maneuver at the bench
- Compatible with 0.5 mL and 1.5 mL microcentrifuge tubes
- Ergonomic design for reduced hand fatigue during repetitive tasks
- Enables gentle or vigorous homogenization, depending on application needs
- Designed for use with Kimble™ Kontes™ pestles, enabling seamless operation
- Battery-powered motor ideal for field or remote lab work
Compatibility Notes
- Pestle Z359955 fits this cordless motor (Z359971) only when used with the replacement adapter Z359998, sold separately
- Pestles and adapter must be purchased independently to match specific applications
Applications
- Sample disruption for DNA/RNA extraction
- Cell lysis and pellet resuspension
- Homogenization of soft tissues (e.g., liver, brain, muscle)
- Clinical sample preparation
- Use in low-volume biochemical and molecular workflows
The Kimble™ Kontes™ Pellet Pestle Cordless Motor offers a simple yet powerful solution for small-volume sample processing. Its compatibility with microcentrifuge tubes and pestles, combined with ergonomic, cordless operation, makes it an essential tool for labs requiring precise, reproducible homogenization of biological samples. Designed for both research and clinical use, it enhances efficiency, reduces variability, and supports consistent results in downstream applications.
