摘要： An apparatus for comminuting biological specimens includes a receiving component (12) provided with a drive source (16, 18), a sample retainer (52) configured for retaining at least one biological specimen and for engagement in the receiving component, and a single use comminution mechanism (66, 68, 70) in operational relationship with the sample retainer. The drive source is configured for driving the comminution mechanism. A collector (42) is associated with the receiving component (12) for receiving comminuted product generated by the comminution mechanism.
