Hello All,

We are working on a project for which we have more than 100 frozen flesh/pulp of avocado fruits that we are planning to grind them into fine powder for RNA extraction and subsequent assays. They are too tough to be handled by a regular grinding in mortar and pestle or even the Geno Grinder. I was wondering if anyone has a Bio-Pulverizer in their lab so that we can possibly borrow and try/use it. We are hoping freeze-fracturing or cryo pulverization could break the tissue into fine powders.   Your help is greatly appreciated. Thank you!
