BEADBUG™3 Microtube Homogenizer

• Extremely powerful mixing for lysis, grinding or homogenization
• Faster and more effective than tissue grinders
• Homogenize 1, 2 or 3 tubes simultaneously
• Extremely compact, less than 7″ wide
• Eliminates the cross contamination associated with handheld homogenizers
• Full range of beads in prefilled tubes and bulk available

Simultaneous homogenization of up to 3 samples takes place (often within 45 seconds) inside the 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. Developed for samples too tough to be homogenized in a common lab vortexer, the BeadBug 3 provides a convenient and economical alternative to the traditional, high capacity homogenizers on the market today. With up to three tube capacity and a footprint of just 7 x 8″, the BeadBug 3 is the ideal homogenizing instrument for low to medium throughput laboratories. An assortment of prefilled tube kits are offered for a variety of sample types. These kits include acid washed, heat treated, zirconium beads. The beads are tested to be free of nucleases, making them ideal for molecular biology applications.
