4.0 to 7.0 m/s (in 0.05 m/s increments)
Capacity
24 x 2.0ml
Temperature Range
-10°C to Ambient
- Efficient bead homogenizer with built-in refrigeration
- Compressor-based cooling; no dry ice or liquid nitrogen needed
- Maintains set temperature during homogenization process
- Processes up to 24 samples with high-energy 3D motion
- Digital controls with memory for 50 stored profiles
- Brushless motor ensures quiet, maintenance-free operation
The BeadBlaster 24R retains many of the features of the popular BeadBlaster 24. 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 micro-beads to release cellular contents. Operating parameters are set and displayed digitally, while 50 profiles can be stored in memory and recalled for future use. A brushless motor reduces motor noise and provides maintenance free operation.
The Benchmark BeadBlaster 24 Refrigerated Microtube Homogenizer is compatible with an assortment of prefilled tube kits for processing a variety of sample types. The popular Triple-Pure kits include acid washed, heat treated, zirconium beads. A convenient starter kit (D1032-SK) is also available to accommodate a broad range of sample types and optimize applications.
All of our equipment is fully tested to perform at factory specifications before being shipped.
