Stomacher® 400 used to prepare faeces samples for comparative study of fluorescent in situ hybridization and the current gold standard for intestinal microbiota quantification. In general, a good correlation between the two methods was observed. Continue reading

FollowGenotoxic activity in human faecal water and the role of bile acids: a study using the alkaline comet assay
Faecal samples were collected and kept on ice before processing. Samples
were homogenized in a stomacher for 2 minutes in a Stomacher® 400.
The results of the present study indicate that the comet assay provides a powerful tool to investigate the genotoxicity of faecal water samples in a human colonic tumour cell line.
Faecal unconjugated bile acids in patients with colorectal cancer or polyps
The pooled samples were homogenised for 20 minutes in five times the faecal weight of cold water using a Stomacher® 3500.
This study lends further support to the theory that bile acids may play
a role in the development of polyps and colorectal cancer.
