Cell Disruption

The French Press G-M® by Glen Mills is a high-pressure laboratory cell disruption system designed for controlled mechanical lysis of biological samples.

Using hydraulic pressure, the French Press forces a cell suspension through a narrow valve, creating shear forces and rapid decompression that rupture cell walls and membranes without the need for beads, harsh chemicals, or excessive heat. Ideal for bacteria, microorganisms, chloroplasts, animal tissue homogenates, and other biological particles, the system is well suited for protein extraction, enzyme recovery, membrane studies, and small-volume research applications.

With pressure capability up to 40,000 psi when used with the standard pressure cell, stainless steel construction, operator-focused safety features, and minimal sample loss, the French Press G-M® provides researchers with a reliable lab-scale solution for high-pressure cell disruption and homogenization.
