Context
The new Precellys® Evolution is even more powerful (up to 10000 rpm) and versatile (0.5, 2.0, 7.0 and 15 ml tubes). Increased grinding power is beneficial for tough or stringy tissues. However, for soft tissues it is known that too much power can lead to degradation of target molecules like DNA. Therefore the goal was to compare DNA quality (integrity) and quantity (yield) after homogenization of Arabidopsis leaves by Precellys® Evolution or Precellys®24-Dual at given rpm.
