BeadBug™

Overview The BeadBug™ is a high energy benchtop homogenizer which homogenizes up to 3 samples simultaneously (often within 45 seconds) inside disposable 2ml screw cap microtubes. The optimized mixing motion causes rapid cell disruption through constant high velocity impact from the hardened micro-beads chosen specifically for your sample type. The BeadBug has a footprint of just 7" x 8", giving it a small footprint to match its low price.  Developed for samples too tough to be homogenized in a common lab vortexer, the BeadBug provides a convenient and economical alternative for low-throughput or medium-throughput laboratories. The optional "Triple Pure" Zirconium Bead Starter Kit contains 10 preps of each size of zirconium beads (0.1, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, and 3.0mm).  These "Triple Pure" beads are acid washed, heat treated, and nuclease free.  The starter kit provides a simple, inexpensive way to optimize your homogenization.
