Benchmark Scientific D1036 BeadBug 6-Position Homogenizer

The Benchmark Scientific BeadBug™ 6 (D1036) is a high energy benchtop homogenizer which 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.

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, number of cycles and pause between cycles, then press start. For convenience, the last programmed parameters remain in memory for repeated runs.

Also available is a special adapter system to accommodate 5ml tubes.
