DNA homogenisation methods. DNA sample homogenisation protocols vary depending on equipment available, here we present a number of lab set-ups which show differing equipment for the homogenisation of tissue samples (dry and wet) , IKA Tube-Mill 100 (a) with blending blades (b), dry malaise trap sample before and after homogenisation with the IKA Tube-Mill 100 (c and d), Qiagen TissueLyser II with plate attachment (bead mill also available) (e), and stainless steel wet-grinding blender (f and g).
