Closed-tube processing
Processing takes place inside the tube. The tube closure and instrument cover help contain the sample during homogenisation.
Homogenisation inside the sample tube
ProbeAX Evolution
Disposable tubes for processing tissue, biopsy, cartilage and bone samples with SpinAX. A ceramic element and the metal rasp inside the cap perform the grinding action.

EDUCATIONAL MATERIAL · AHEPA HOSPITAL
From the sample.
To the laboratory workflow.
Medical Trade’s demonstration supplied from AHEPA shows loading ProbeAX Evolution and operating SpinAX. The steps are supported by manufacturer instructions.
- Remove the magnetic cover and load the closed tube upside down into the holder.
- Replace the cover and check the setting for the specific sample type.
- Start the automatic cycle. Homogenisation takes place inside the same tube.
- Proceed to the next laboratory method under the validated protocol.
How long is the cycle?
The AHEPA demonstration selects a one-minute cycle. Supplied ProbeAX Evolution instructions, version 03 (05/07/2024), for AL0509/AL0510/AL0511/AL0511-B recommend one minute for standard samples, a sample weight of 500 mg, and adjustment to sample type and size. The current Axonlab AL0510 page, checked on 23/10/2026, describes the classic configuration with 5 ml of 0.85% NaCl and a two-minute grinding time. Confirm the exact reference, current instructions and the laboratory’s validated protocol before use.
What about PCR and NGS?
The ProbeAX Evolution flyer lists sub-culturing and molecular diagnostics. Its instructions require prompt downstream microbiological and molecular methods under internal laboratory procedures. Axonlab describes AL0510 as tested DNA-free for molecular analyses. Compatibility and optimisation of a specific method must be confirmed by the laboratory with the technical team.
How are transport and storage determined?
ProbeAX instructions require a securely tightened cap, tissue completely covered by liquid and transport to the laboratory as quickly as possible. Processing and subsequent microbiological or molecular analyses follow internal laboratory procedures.
FROM THE DEMONSTRATIONS
The workflow in practice.
Loading and cycle
The Greek demonstrations show the ProbeAX Evolution disposable loaded upside down in the SpinAX holder after removing the magnetic cover. The cover is replaced, the duration checked and the automatic cycle started. These examples select one minute. Cycle duration depends on the specimen and consumable reference. Follow current instructions and the laboratory’s validated protocol.
Grinding mechanism
The presentations describe alternating clockwise and anticlockwise SpinAX motion. The ProbeAX Evolution tube contains a ceramic element and a metal grinding surface in the cap for mechanical homogenisation. The disposable tube and reusable instrument are separate products.
Sample retrieval
The Greek demonstration shows homogenised material retrieved with a pipette or syringe in an appropriate laboratory setting before downstream analysis. Follow current manufacturer instructions and the laboratory’s validated protocol for handling and storage.
Culture and molecular analysis
The official Axonlab film describes ProbeAX Evolution / SpinAX sample preparation as suitable for subsequent culture or molecular analysis. Confirm sample type, method, reagents and validation with the Medical Trade team for a molecular workflow.
