The BULLET BLENDER® enables you to homogenize, disrupt, or lyse up to 24 tissue or cell culture samples at a time. Load the samples into standard polypropylene tubes, then place them in the BULLET BLENDER. The "bullets" in the instrument vigorously strike all of the tubes and homogenize your sample in minutes. 

Includes:

• Bullet Blender 5 Gold
• Operator’s Manual
• Power supply
• Basic starter kit which includes:
• Bead Sample Pack contains centrifuge tubes of several different types of beads
• Spoon for dispensing beads
• Sample pack of 5 mL Eppendorf tubes

Consistent and High Yield Results

The BULLET BLENDER homogenizer prepares up to 24 samples in just minutes. All of the samples are automatically homogenized in the same manner, with high yields, so there is very little variation from sample to sample.

No Cross-Contamination or Sample Loss

There are no probes or blades to cause cross contamination or sample loss, which also means there are no parts to clean between runs. The sample tubes are kept closed and self-contained during homogenization.

Samples Stay COOL

No cool down required. The Bullet Blender homogenizers use very little power due to the unique, patented design. There is very little heating of the samples because the sample tubes vibrate vigorously in air, keeping them cool, rather than being subjected to frictional heating as the tubes rub against the walls of a holder. Also, because the motor does not need to agitate any heavy platforms or plates, it is small and will last for many years.

So Easy To Use

Simply place your sample, beads and buffer in standard tubes, and load the tubes into the BULLET BLENDER homogenizer. Tune the extent of disruption by adjusting the run time and speed. Afterwards, place the sample tubes in a centrifuge to separate the lysate. No special holders are needed. There are no clamp plates or locking rings to fiddle with.

Risk Free Purchase

BULLET BLENDER homogenizers come with a 30 day money back guarantee and a 2 year warranty. The simple, reliable design enables the BULLET BLENDER to sell for one half the price of other agitation based instruments, yet provides an easier, quicker, cooler technique.

Although they do not have a humidity display, the extremely stable temperature environment maintains constant humidity through evaporation at 95%. Double wall construction reduces this unit's footprint, so they fit in tight spaces as well as tight budgets.

The audible/visual alarms for temperature and CO2 respond to out-of-tolerance conditions. They offer an independent overtemperature safety control to protect samples from overheating, and an optional CO2 tank switch/alarm to prevent prematurely exhausting the gas supply. Features include:

• Infrared CO2 Sensor
• Heated Outer Door
• Independent Overtemperature Protection
• Quick Clean Shelf System
