Abstract:
Disclosed herein are a sonic homogenizing module (100, 200, 300) and a biological sample preparation system (500) containing the same. The sonic homogenizing module (100, 200, 300) comprises a rod made of a magnetic material (120, 220, 320); a piezoelectric conductor (130, 230,330); a driver (140, 340); and a sleeve-coupling member (110, 210, 310) having a first portion defining a space (112, 212, 312) for coupling with a gripper module of a biological sample preparation system, and for accommodating the piezoelectric conductor and the driver therein; and a second portion having a conduit (114, 214, 314) for receiving the rod therethrough; wherein the driver (140, 340) is electrically coupled with the piezoelectric conductor (130, 230,330) and is configured to drive the piezoelectric conductor (130, 230, 330) to generate a sonic vibration at a frequency of 100 KHz-1 MHz.
