Benchmark Scientific BeadBlaster™ Microtube Homogenizer
SKU: D2400
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 optimized, high-speed, 3D motions, 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.

Benchmark Scientific BeadBlaster™ Microtube Homogenizer Features
The BeadBlaster™ 24 Microtube Homogenizer, 115V, completely lyses, grinds, and homogenizes a broad variety of biological samples, including the most difficult and resistant ones, often in just 35 seconds. Its 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.
The homogenizer features digital setting and display of operating parameters. To protect fragile, heat-sensitive samples, it can be programmed to operate in shortened consecutive cycles with rest periods in between. Up to 50 such programs can be stored in memory and recalled for future use. The transparent lid allows for visualization of samples and includes a mechanical lid lock that prevents opening while in operation. A brushless motor reduces noise and provides maintenance-free operation.
Benchmark offers an assortment of prefilled tube kits for various sample types. The popular Triple-Pure™ kits include acid-washed, heat-treated zirconium beads, ideal for molecular biology applications. A convenient starter kit (D1032-SK) is available to accommodate a broad range of sample types and optimize applications.
