Laboratory beater micro-MiniBeadbeater

The micro-MiniBeadbeater is an entry-level, small sample cell disrupter. Samples are processed one vial at a time. Disruption performance is fully comparable to other MBB models. For applications requiring a selection of shaking speeds, see the MiniBeadbeater-1. For processing more than one sample at a time, see MBB-8, MBB-16 and MBB-96. Up to 300 mg of cells or tissue are sealed inside a special screw-cap microvial (see below) containing up to 1.5 ml of extraction solution and hundreds of tiny glass or ceramic beads. The vial contents are violently agitated on the µ-MiniBeadbeater. Spores, resistant yeast, and fresh or frozen fibrous tissues from plants or animals can be completely homogenized in 1-3 minutes of operation.
