That's good value if you need a whole lot of mice for some reason.

Dammit, there's an old magazine ad from a scientific journal that would go perfectly right here.

It's for an homogenizer (read: science blender) that goes "Can homogenize an entire rat in less than a minute!" but I can't find the drat thing.


EDIT: And how about some top of page content for this lovely post-Trump world.

For scuba diving around here they charge $5-$10 for a tank refill of air, which weighs about 4 or 5 pounds I guess. But I suppose you're renting the compressor.

Still, I can't just pay you for the electricity? Surely that isn't 5-10 dollars. A whole days worth maybe, but not the time it takes for a tank.

Even maintaining your equipment, surely that's too much.

We can work something out.

I have now realised that I do not know what is the actual word for those bar things you put on conveyor belts in supermarkets. I have never known that it was a word I lacked in my vocabulary until now. But now I need that word in my life. Surely there must be an industry term, an actual name for them that is something else than "those bar things."

The serious answer is that the speed at which the machine can homogenize a mouse is just a dramatic way of advertising how effective it is at homogenizing a presumably non-mouse sample.

Serious post, any experiment where you might need to, for example, find out the half-life of a drug in a living system. Just give it to mice at the same time, then liquefy them at different times and plot that poo poo.

RealTalk: I don't know about homogenizing entire mice, but I've homogenized parts of rodent brains (primarily the amygdala and hippocampus) for use in immunoassays to determine levels of certain proteins (inflammatory cytokines, adrenergic receptors, among other things) following repeated exposure to stress, to determine if there are associations between these proteins and behavioral changes like those in anxiety and depression. A guy working in the lab next door to mine often uses our homogenizer in his Parkinson's research.

Realtalk 2: when you're putting liquefied mouse organs on a petri plate, foam can affect the volume you're plating and gently caress up your experiment. Low foam homogenization is great.
