Dynamic homogenizer BEADBUG 6

compactlaboratory

• Extremely powerful mixing for lysis, grinding or homogenization • Faster and more effective than tissue grinders • Homogenize up to 6 tubes simultaneously • Extremely compact, less than 9″ wide • Eliminates the cross contamination associated with handheld homogenizers • Full range of beads in prefilled tubes and bulk available Specifications Capacity: 6 x 2.0ml (Screw cap /skirted and non-skirted) Timer: 1 sec. to 90 sec. with up to 10 cycles Dimensions: 8.6 x 14 x 8 in / 22 x 35.5 x 20.5 cm Warranty: 2 years Electrical: 100-240V 50-60 Hz The BeadBug™ 6 joins the large capacity BeadBlaster™ 24 and personal sized BeadBug™ 3 as the newest member of the Benchmark homogenizer line. Like the other members of the Benchmark Microtube Homogenizer family, the BeadBug 6 utilizes a three dimensional shaking motion to disrupt samples. This motion, when combined with beads of the appropriate size and material, causes high velocity impacts with the sample and is an extremely fast and efficient method for releasing cellular contents, including nucleic acids and proteins. Many different sample types, from cells in culture to organ tissues and bone can be homogenized in the BeadBug 6, most within 45 seconds. Programming the unit is very simple – just set the speed, time, number of cycles and pause between cycles, then press start. For convenience, the last programmed parameters remain in memory for repeated runs. Sealed tubes prevent cross contamination in the BeadBug 6. Samples are simply loaded into the tubes along with the beads and placed in the unit for processing.
