Bead Ruptor 12 Bead Mill Homogenizer
Bead Ruptor 12 Homogenizer
The Bead Ruptor 12 is the most powerful and economical bead mill homogenizer available today. It is an ideal solution for a variety of applications that require grinding, lysing, and homogenization of biological samples prior to molecular extraction.
Using disposable sample tubes pre-filled with a variety of lysing beads, the Bead Ruptor 12 vigorously and uniformly shakes up to 16 tubes at a time providing an efficient, consistent homogenization and high-yield. Unlike most other bead mill homogenizers, the Bead Ruptor 12 does not require a cool down period between runs. This means more samples can be processed in a smaller amount of time.
Benefits of the Bead Ruptor 12 Homogenizer include:
- Simultaneously homogenize up to 12 x 2mL or 0.5mL tubes and 4 x 7mL tubes
- Convenient front-loading tube holder position for ease of use and optimal bead/sample interactions
- Processing range is ideal for soft tissue samples
- No cool-down required between runs = non-stop processing
- Disposable tubes ensure no threat of cross-contamination
- No sample degradation due to quick processing
- Features and integrated lid lock
Compelling performance at a compelling price
The Bead Ruptor 12 is designed with a unique tube carriage motion to ensure that the intra-tube bead movement reduces swirling and results in the a high bead impact force. The Bead Ruptor 12 is more powerful than competitor bead mills that are twice the cost making it an excellent solution for any lab working with tissues or cellular material.
Bead impact forces generated by commercially available bead mills. Bead impact forces are calculated as a function of tube acceleration, tube displacement and the motor force applied to the tube. The Bead Ruptor 12 and Bead Ruptor Elite have the broadest force range and produce the highest impact forces of any bead mill on the market. This results in an increased processing efficiency on the Bead Ruptor platforms
Unique snap in tube carriage design
The Bead Ruptor 12 eliminates the tedious task of screwing down finger plates which are present other bead mills. The patent pending snap in tube carriage allows tubes to be “snapped in” and “snapped out” easily thus decreasing workload and increasing safety. The Bead Ruptor 12 is an ideal bead mill for core laboratories or as a shared resource with its short learning curve and ease of use.

Omni Bead Ruptor 24 Cryo Cooling Unit
Cooling system to protect heat sensitive samples during homogenization
The BR-Cryo Cooling Unit is compatible with the Bead Ruptor 24 and is designed to prevent the increase of sample temperature during the homogenization process. Friction generated through the bead milling process generates heat that is imparted to the sample. In order to maintain a constant processing temperature during homogenization, the BR-Cryo passes chilled air (-100°C to -50°C) into the sample processing chamber and across the sample tubes to dissipate heat.
Samples can be maintained at a temperature ranging from 4°C to ambient thus protecting heat sensitive samples such as RNA and proteins.
The BR-Cryo can be used to maintain a constant temperature when extracting functional enzymes or volatile small molecules.
|
| Intra-tube temperature monitoring during bead mill homogenization. 2 mL Omni reinforced tubes containing five 2.8 mm ceramic beads (Cat # 19-628) were filled with 1 mL H2O and processed at 7 m/s on the Bead Ruptor 24 for increasing time periods. Homogenization was performed with and without the use of the BR-Cryo cooling unit using liquid nitrogen as the cryo source. Intra-tube temperatures were monitored at each time point. |
