Sample homogenization and grinding are essential steps for efficient DNA extraction from tough biological materials. These processes break down the tissue or sample into smaller, uniform particles, which enhances the accessibility of DNA. Grinding tools like bead mills or mortar and pestle are commonly used to achieve this. Homogenization ensures even mixing of the sample, while grinding allows for better cell lysis, increasing DNA yield and purity. This step is crucial for forensic, medical, and research applications that require high-quality genetic analysis from challenging samples.
