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.
Stainless Steel UFO Beads
Stainless steel beads can be used for homogenization of touch samples or for special applications such as bacterial isolation. Cone beads (UFO beads) have a special shape that is great for cutting through particularly fibrous or resilient material.
Cone beads are available in 3.5 mm and 5.6 mm diameters in either bulk packaging (50 mL tubes) or in an RNase-free option (10 mL pack size). These beads are for use only in 5 mL and 50 mL tubes within the appropriate Bullet Blender homogenizer.
Glass Beads
Glass beads are ideal for the homogenization of biological samples. Due to the low density of the material, it is suitable for the homogenization of soft tissues and easy-to-lyse cell suspensions. Perfect for research that demands precision and reliability.
RNase-free glass beads undergo a special cleaning process. They are guaranteed and certified to be RNase-free.
Zirconium Oxide Beads
Zirconium oxide beads are ideal for the homogenization of biological samples. Due to the lower density of the material, it is suitable for the homogenization of softer samples, such as brain or kidney tissue. Autoclavable in dry cycle.
RNase-free zirconium oxide beads undergo a special cleaning process. They are guaranteed and certified to be RNase-free.
Bead Lysis Kit
The 2 mL screw cap lysis kits are compatible with other brands of tissue homogenizers.
Each kit contains either zirconium oxide beads or glass beads. DNase & RNase Free.

Bullet Blender® Tubes
Eppendorf™ Safe-Lock tubes are 1.5 mL polypropylene microcentrifuge tubes for use in Bullet Blender® Storm (BT24M) and Bullet Blender® 24 Gold (BB24AUP) models.
GATOR™ tubes are 1.5 mL microcentrifuge tubes for use in the Bullet Blender® Gold (BB5EAUP), (BB24AUP), and Bullet Blender® Storm (BT5E), (BT24M), (BT12LT) models. 5 mL GATOR™ tubes are for use in Bullet Blender® 5E Pro (BT5E) and 5E Gold (BB5EAUP) models. The caps stay tightly sealed even under vigorous agitation. The PCR is clean and free of RNase and DNase.
RINO® screw-cap tubes are 1.5 mL microcentrifuge tubes for use in Bullet Blender® Storm (BT24M) and Bullet Blender® 24 Gold (BB24AUP) models. They are made of a special extra-tough polypropylene material, ideal for vigorous homogenization. They are also transparent, allowing you to visualize your samples! Sterile & RNase free.
*Use only with RINO® lid gasket. RINO® tubes should not be centrifuged at speeds higher than 14,000 RCF with beads inside, as the weight of the beads can cause the tubes to leak.
HIPPO™ skirted, self-standing, 50 mL tubes are ideal for use in our 50 mL Bullet Blender® models, including the 50 Gold+ (BB50AUP), and 50 DX (BB50DXP) models. HIPPO™ Tubes can hold substantial amounts and are exceptionally durable. Caps remain tightly sealed on the tubes, even after vigorous agitation. DNAse, RNAse, and pyrogen free.
The Mini-Beadbeater-16 is a high-energy cell disrupter designed to handle four to sixteen samples at a time.
The Mini-BeadBeater-16 disrupts microbial cells and plant and animal tissue by violently agitating four to sixteen 2 ml screw-cap microvials containing small glass, ceramic or steel beads and disruption buffer. Even resistant samples like yeast, spores or fibrous tissue are completely homogenized around 3 minutes in 0.1 to 1 ml of extraction medium. The non-foaming, aerosol-free method preserves enzymes and organelles. In the presence of nucleic acid extraction media such as phenol, Gu-SCN or a commercial kit solution, DNA or RNA is recovered in the highest possible yield. The method is ideal for PAGE, PCR applications and diagnostics using antibody or oligonucleotide probes. Because the beads and vials are disposable, there is absolutely Zero cross-contamination between samples - essential for PCR techniques.

Tissue-Tearor
AWAY FROM ELECTIRCAL LINES? The model 780CL Cordless Tissue-Tearor includes a cordless, high speed motor, one probe of your choice, one rechargable 9.6 volt battery pack and a plug-in charger. The maximum speed of the 780CL is slightly slower than the line-operated TissueTearor (25,000 vs 35,000 rpm), it is quite adequate for homogenizing soft tissue like muscle, liver, brain, etc.
- Use for mixing, emulsification, shredding, or chopping.
- Practical answer for small samples.
- Easy to hold and light weight for one hand operation. Can also be stand mounted.
- Autoclavable stainless steel probes. Inert to aggressive solutions.
- All probes are interchangable probes and are easily removed for cleanup.
- High speed motor. Speed control from 5,000 to 25,000 rpm.
The Tissue-Tearor is a rotor/stator type tissue homogenizer which 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 25,000 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).

- Variable Speed: 5,000 to 25,000 rpm, incremented by 5000 rpm.
- Probes made of Type 316 Stainless Steel with flurocarbon bushings.
- Weight: Approximately 1/2 Kg.

Benchmark™ BenchMasher™ 400 Paddle Blender
- Contamination free mixing/homogenizing of samples
- Touch screen control with variable mixing speed and temperature control
- Adjustable stroke length
- Built in UV light for chamber decontamination
The BenchMasher™ provides fast and effective mixing, ensuring consistent homogenization. It is ideal for preparation of samples were eliminating contamination is critical, such as pathogen and microbial detection in food and water filters. However, its use is not limited to those areas - the BenchMasher™ has applications anywhere larger solid samples need broken down or products such as powders and polymers need mixed.
Samples up to 400 mL are conveniently loaded in the sterile blender bags which are sealed upon closing the door. Mixing paddles rapidly strike the bags, producing thorough mixing and homogenization without ever directly contacting the sample. Programming is user friendly - mixing speed and cycle time are easily adjusted on the large, full color touch screen. Paddle position can be adjusted to ensure efficient processing of samples. For applications requiring thermal regulation (such as Trichinella testing in meat) the chamber can be heated and maintained at temperatures up to 65°C.
The door is removable for access to the chamber and stainless steel mixing paddles. Each paddle includes a convenient rubber cover that is easily removed or replaced. A UV light (254 nm) is built into the chamber and can be activated at any time to perform complete decontamination.
