The TissueGrinder is able to dissociate a great variety of tissue types in different conditions – healthy, tumorous, fresh, frozen or even FFPE.
Generating single cell suspensions from tissue samples is highly individual. With easily adaptable protocols, the TissueGrinder accomodates specific customizations for each application.
The mechanical process of the TissueGrinder matches or even outperforms the best enzymatic protocols in terms of cell yield and viability.

Scientific references confirm the value of TissueGrinder’s innovative tissue dissociation approach
“The TissueGrinder from Fast Forward Discoveries quite literally saved my project. I had exhausted all possible options for dissociating fixed cancer cell spheroids for subsequent single-cell signalling studies, when I came across this product. I could hardly believe my eyes when I saw the perfect single-cell suspension generated by my demo TissueGrinder after just 3 minutes of the standard “Harsh” protocol (and with no enzymes!).
It is now an integrated part of my single-cell signalling workflows, and I dare say some of my key discoveries over the last year would not have been possible without this equipment.”

Generating high quality single cells from tissue samples is a real bottleneck for many applications, such as Flow Cytometry, Single Cell Sequencing, Isolation of Primary Cells, Cancer Cell Line Development to name a few.
Conventional tissue dissociation is is either time-consuming, non-standardized, not scalable or accepting all drawbacks of enzymatic digestion. Or all of them together.
With the TissueGrinder, this bottleneck can be overcome and the door to a new level in single cell analysis can be opened wide.
