The Mini-Beadbeater is designed for high-throughput analytical screening of small biological samples. It efficiently and safely disrupts cells in up to 192 samples containing spores, microorganisms, plant and animal tissue, soil and feal samples, hair and more. In the beadbeating process samples, extraction media and tiny ceramic beads are sealed in microvials or microplates. After 2-3 minutes of violent shaking in the Mini-Beadbeater greater than 95 percent of the cells are disrupted.
The Mini-Beadbeater-96 platform holds up to 45 standard microvials in a provided vial holder or one or two standard 96 deep well microplates.
