BeadBlaster™ 24
Overview The BeadBlaster™ 24 lyses and homogenizes a broad variety of biological samples. Many very tough samples can be fully homogenized by the BeadBlaster in under a minute! The new, refrigerated BeadBlaster™ 24R is capable of refrigeration to -10°C. Unlike most other refrigerated bead mill homogenizers, its on-board refrigeration system operates without the use of dry ice or liquid nitrogen! 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 heat sensitive samples, the unit can be programmed to operate in shortened consecutive cycles with a rest period in between to prevent heat buildup. Up to 50 such programs can be stored in memory and recalled fo
