Bead Blaster Microtube Homogenizer
Product Code : JA-LE-8250
The Bead Blaster Microtube Homogenizer (SKU JA-LE-8250) is a bead mill homogenizer that lyses, grinds and homogenizes a wide range of biological samples. Its stainless steel carrier moves up to 24 tubes in a high-speed 3D motion, so the micro-beads strike the sample hard enough to release cell contents, often in 35 seconds or less even for resistant samples. It is supplied by JaincoLab.

Applications of the bead mill homogenizer
Programmable cycles make it suitable for:
- Lysing and homogenizing tough or resistant biological samples, up to 24 at a time
- Heat-sensitive samples, run in short consecutive cycles with rest periods between them
- Preparing lysates that are then centrifuged so the supernatant can be taken on
Scope of supply and ordering
The homogenizer is quoted on its own; prefilled bead tube kits and a starter kit are available, so list the kits and quantity you want, and packing and lead time will be confirmed on the quotation.
Frequently asked questions
How are heat-sensitive samples protected?
The unit can run short consecutive cycles with a pause of up to 2 minutes between them, up to 10 cycles per program.
Which beads are offered for it?
Prefilled tube kits include acid-washed, heat-treated zirconium beads tested free of nucleases, and a starter kit covers a range of sample types.
Can the lid open during a run?
