Benchmark D1034-28 Prefilled 5.0ml tubes, Stainless Steel beads, 2.8mm Acid Washed, 50pk (for D1036 and D2400 only)
The BeadBlaster™ 24 completely lyses, grinds and homogenizesa broad variety of biological samples. Even the most difficult andresistant samples are fully homogenized, often in 35 seconds orless. The stainless steel tube carrier subjects up to 24 samples to anoptimized, high speed, 3D motion, producing high energy impactsbetween the samples and micro-beads to release cellular contents.After homogenization, samples can be centrifuged and thesupernatant collected for further processing. Operating parameters for the BeadBlaster 24 are set and displayeddigitally. To protect fragile, heat sensitive samples, the unit can beprogrammed to operate in shortened consecutive cycles with a restperiod in between. Up to 50 such programs can be stored in memoryand recalled for future use. A transparent lid allows for visualizationof samples, and features a mechanical lid lock that prevents openingowhen the BeadBlaster is in operation. A brushless motor reducesmotor noise and provides maintenance free operation. Benchmark offers an assortment of prefilled tube kits for a varietyof sample types. The popular Triple-Pure™ kits include acid washed,heat treated, zirconium beads. The beads are tested to be free ofnucleases, making them ideal for molecular biology applications.A convenient starter kit (D1032-SK) is available to accommodatea broad range of sample types and optimize applications.
