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.

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.
 

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.
