  • Process and apparatus for breaking down biological material
    Patent number: 6258930
    Abstract: The use of multi-well blocks with more than 10 wells is suggested for breaking down biological samples in a ball mill, wherein the process which is to be carried out provides that the biological sample, disposed in a multi-well block with more than 10 wells, is broken down in a ball mill and that following this, proteins and/or nucleic acids are isolated. With the ball mill necessary for this task, with milling containers fixed thereto in a holder (10), the milling containers are designed as uniform well blocks (16) and can be fixed in a form-locking manner into the adapted, twist-preventing holder (10).
