How to do a quick homogenization of mouse tissues such as lung and brain to estimate the fungal (Cryptococcus neoformans) load?

28 September 2020 0 10K Report

Manual homogenization using glass homogenizer takes lot of time, difficult to handle 50-100 tissue samples per day. Issue with mechanical homogenizer is it can destroy the fungal cells too.
