Lab Homogenizers

In need of a homogenizer? We have the handheld or benchtop homogenizers you’re looking for.

With a wide selection of products to choose from, our product line is sure to meet your needs.

If you’re looking for a convenient, but quite powerful, handheld lab homogenizer then the PRO250 is ideal for you while the D1000 handheld homogenizer is perfect for use with microtubes.

When you need to agitate numerous samples at a time, then it may be best to consider the Mini-Beadbeater-16, which can handle four to sixteen samples all at once.

If you have tissue that’s been hard-frozen in liquid nitrogen and need to reduce it to a fine powder, then consider the numerous Bio-Pulverizers in our product line.

Most importantly, we carry Bullet Blenders! Among a ton of other benefits, these homogenizers avoid cross-contamination between samples and sample loss.

BeadBug™ 6 Homogenizer

The BeadBug™ is a high energy benchtop homogenizer that sets the performance standard for personal sized cell disruption and lysis instruments.

Simultaneous homogenization of up to 6 samples takes place (often within 45 seconds) inside the disposable 2 mL 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™ provides a convenient and economical alternative to the traditional, over-priced homogenizers on the market today. With up to six tube capacity and a footprint of just 9 x 14 in., the BeadBug™ is
the ideal homogenizing instrument for low to medium throughput laboratories.

D1000 Handheld Homogenizer

  • Homogenize most samples in under 30 seconds
  • For volumes from 100 uL to 250 mL
  • Supplied with both 5 mm & 7 mm generator probes

The D1000 is designed to rapidly homogenize, emulsify, suspend and disrupt biological samples. Ideal for use with microtubes, the homogenizer works well with samples from 0.1 mL to 250 mL (depending upon the generator probe used).

The D1000 is a rotor stator homogenizer, and works by drawing the sample, in liquid into the generator probe with the variable speed rotor, and then forcing it out through the slots in the stator. This achieves mechanical shearing of the sample. As the sample is repeatedly drawn up and forced through the stator, additional shearing takes place. Most samples are completely homogenized in 30 seconds or less. A powerful, 130 W motor drives the rotor at speeds from 8,500 to 30,000 rpm. Speed is adjustable in six steps to meet sample processing needs. A separate on/off switch allows the homogenizer to be left at the appropriate setting.

Generator probes are available in four sizes. The 5 mm and 7 mm diameter have a 50 mm length for use with samples in microtubes. The 10 mm x 115 mm is ideal for use with 15 and 50 mL tubes and 14 mm x 130 mm, for 50 mL tubes and vessels up to 250 mL. The unit is supplied with one each of the 5 mm and 7 mm generator probes. All the generator probes are made of stainless steel and can be sterilized by autoclaving.

Tissue-Tearor

  • Use for mixing, emulsification, shredding, or chopping.
  • Practical answer for small samples.
  • Easy to hold and lightweight for one-hand operation. Can also be stand-mounted.
  • Autoclavable stainless steel probes. Inert to aggressive solutions.
  • All probes are interchangeable probes and are easily removed for cleanup.
  • High-speed motor. Speed control from 5,000 to 35,000 rpm.
  • 2-year warranty 

The Tissue-Tearor is a rotor/stator type tissue homogenizer that can rapidly homogenize, disperse, and emulsify samples in 0.2 - 1000 ml of liquid. During operation, the suspended material is drawn into the core of the homogenizer by a rotor turning at up to 35,000 rpm. The material is repeatedly cycled through six narrow slits in the stator where it is rapidly sheared and disintegrated by high-frequency mechanical action. Complete homogenization of tissues (muscle, liver, breast tissue, etc.) is usually achieved in ten to thirty seconds. Little, if any, heat is produced during the process. Unlike most other Brands of rotor/stator type homogenizers, the Tissue-Tearor comes complete - that is, with both a motor and a probe (aka, generator, dispersing tool) - both included in one price.

 

Specifications

  • Sample Volume Range: 0.3 to 1000 ml, depending on the probe selected (see table below).
  • Universal Motor: 120 VAC, 138 watts or, for overseas applications, 230VAC2
  • Variable Speed: 5,000 to 35,000 rpm, incremented by 5000 rpm.
  • Probes made of Type 316 Stainless Steel with fluorocarbon bushings.
  • Weight: Approximately 1/2 Kg.

PRO 250 Homogenizer

 

High-Power Homogenization in a Hand-Held Unit. The PRO250 is a perfect fit between the PRO200 and the larger benchtop PRO homogenizers. It's light enough to be hand-held for convenience, yet it has extra torque for processing difficult samples. Combining the power of a 3/4 hp, 576-watt motor with a smooth variable speed control (10,000 to 30,000 rpm), the PRO250 can handle samples from 0.05ml to several liters. Like all PRO homogenizers, the PRO250 accepts PRO QUICK CONNECT rotor stator generators for fast and virtually effortless changeover. The PRO250 also accommodates PRO SAFETY SEAL and ST (Sealed Tube) Series Chamber Assemblies to contain aerosols and prevent contamination, making it extremely safe when processing hazardous materials. Stand and generators are not included.

BioPulverizer

The Bio-Pulverizer reduces tissue hard-frozen in liquid nitrogen to a fine powder. Called freeze-fracturing, this method is especially useful for tough, fibrous tissues such as skin, cartilage, cornea, etc. The Bio-Pulverizer consists of a hole machined in a stainless steel base, into which fits a special piston. In a typical procedure, up to 10g of animal or plant tissue is hard-frozen in liquid nitrogen and placed in the pre-chilled Bio-Pulverizer. The piston is mounted on an easy to use trigger mechanism that is squeezed to deliver a blow to the brittle tissue reducing it to a fine powder. Freeze fracturing with the Bio-Pulverizer is also useful for extracting labile tissue metabolites and as a preliminary step to other homogenization techniques. 2 year warranty

How the Bio-Pulverizer Works

  • Place the Bio-Pulverizer in the insulated container and cool thoroughly with either liquid nitrogen (preferred) or a dry-ice/alcohol mixture.
  • Place pre-frozen tissue in the well of the mortar. Re-insert the pestle into the well.
  • Remove the mortar from the insulated container and pulverize the tissue with one or two blows to the pestle.
  • Invert the mortar and empty the powdered contents for subsequent homogenization or extraction procedure.

Beadblaster™ 24 Microtube Homogenizer

  • Fast, efficient homogenization in about 35 seconds
  • For all sample types, from soft tissue to bone
  • Mix up to 24 tubes simultaneously
  • Sealed 2.0 mL tubes-eliminates cross contamination 

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 microbeads that 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™ 24 is in operation. A brushless motor reduces motor noise and provides maintenance-free operation. See below for kits for use with the Beadblaster™ 24.
