• The BeadBlaster 24 completely lyses, grinds and homogenizes a broad variety of biological samples
• Even the most difficult and resistant samples are fully homogenized, often in 35 seconds or less
• 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 fragile, heat sensitive samples, the unit can be programmed to operate in shortened consecutive cycles with a rest period in between
• Up to 50 such programs can be stored in memory and recalled for future use
• A transparent lid allows for visualization of samples, and features a mechanical lid lock that prevents opening when the BeadBlaster is in operation
• A brushless motor reduces motor noise and provides maintenance free operation

• Benchmark offers an assortment of prefilled tube kits for a variety of sample types
• The popular Triple-Pure kits include acid washed, heat treated, zirconium beads
• The beads are tested to be free of nucleases, making them ideal for molecular biology applications
• A convenient starter kit (Cat. no. 155-40948) is available to accommodate a broad range of sample types and optimize applications
