Helpful for use in sample disruption and preparation, the BeadBug™ 6 Position Homogenizer can be used for all different biological sample types, from tissue to bone. A three-dimensional shaking motion combined with the use of different-sized beads depending on the sample type causes the release of cellular contents in preparation for testing. Programmable for speed, time, and number of cycles, this unit accepts six tubes of 0.2 or 0.5 mL. Using sealed tubes prevents cross-contamination. Be sure to prepare to cycle all tubes through the centrifuge post-homogenization. For use in a medium throughput lab.?

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.
Features:
Fast, efficient bead homogenization
Process up to 6 samples simultaneously
For all sample types, from soft tissue to bone
Accepts 2.0ml or 5.0ml tubes
Full range of bead materials and sizes are available
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, and 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. After homogenization, tubes are spun briefly in a centrifuge, and the lysate is removed with a pipette.
Designed to fit the needs of medium throughput laboratories, the BeadBug 6 can simultaneously process up to six samples in 2.0ml tubes. With optional adapters, the unit will also accept two 5.0ml tubes. A full range of bead materials and sizes are available in both prefilled tubes and in bulk to meet all your sample processing needs.
