BeadBlaster 24 Microtube Homogenizer

Features:

• Fast, efficient homogenization in about 35 seconds
• Mix up to 24 tubes simultaneously
• Sealed 2.0ml tubes - eliminates cross contamination

Overview:

The BeadBlaster™ 24 completely lyses, grinds and homogenizes
a broad variety of biological samples. Even the most difficult and
resistant samples are fully homogenized, often in 35 seconds or 
less. 

The stainless steel tube carrier subjects up to 24 samples to an 
optimized, high speed, 3D motion, producing high energy impacts
between the samples and micro-beads to release cellular contents.
After homogenization, samples can be centrifuged and the
supernatant collected for further processing.

Operating parameters for the BeadBlaster 24 are set and displayed 
digitally. To protect fragile, heat sensitive samples, the unit can be 
programmed to operate in shortened consecutive cycles with a rest 
period in between. Up to 50 such programs can be stored in memory 
and recalled for future use. A transparent lid allows for visualization 
of samples, and features a mechanical lid lock that prevents opening 
owhen the BeadBlaster is in operation. A brushless motor reduces 
motor noise and provides maintenance free operation. 

Benchmark offers an assortment of prefilled tube kits for a variety 
of sample types. The popular Triple-Pure™ kits include acid washed, 
heat treated, zirconium beads. The beads are tested to be free of 
nucleases, making them ideal for molecular biology applications. 
A convenient starter kit (D1032-SK) is available to accommodate
a broad range of sample types and optimize applications
