• Homogenize most samples in under 30 seconds
• For volumes from 100µl to 250ml
• Supplied with both 5mm & 7mm generator probes

Benchmark’s new handheld homogenizer, the D1000, is designed to rapidly homogenize, emulsify, suspend and disrupt biological samples. Ideal for use with microtubes, the homogenizer works well with samples from 0.1ml to 250ml (depending upon the generator probe used).

The D1000 is a rotor stator homogenizer, and works by drawing the sample, in liquid, into the generator probe with the variable speed rotor, and then forcing it out through the slots in the stator. This achieves mechanical shearing of the sample. As the sample is repeatedly drawn up and forced through the stator, additional shearing takes place. Most samples are completely homogenized in 30 seconds are less. A powerful, 130W motor drives the rotor at speeds from 8,500 to 30,000 rpm. Speed is adjustable in six steps to meet sample processing needs. A separate on/off switch allows the homogenizer to be left at the appropriate setting.

Generator probes are available in four sizes. The 5mm and 7mm diameter have a 50mm length for use with samples in microbtubes. The 10mm x 115mm is ideal for use with 15 and 50ml tubes and 14mm x 130 mm, for 50ml tubes and vessels up to 250ml. The unit is supplied with one each of the 5mm and 7mm generator probes. All the generator probes are made of stainless steel and can be sterilized by autoclaving.

• Extremely powerful mixing for lysis, grinding or homogenization
• Faster and more effective than tissue grinders
• Mix 1, 2 or 3 tubes simultaneously
• Extremely compact, less than 7" wide
• Eliminates the cross contamination associated with hand held homogenizers

The BeadBug is a high energy benchtop homogenizer that sets the performance standard for personal sized cell disruption and lysis instruments.

Simultaneous homogenization of up to 3 samples takes place (often within 45 seconds) inside the disposable 2ml screw cap microtubes. The optimized mixing motion causes rapid cell disruption through constant high velocity impact from the hardened micro-beads chosen specifically
for your sample type.

Developed for samples too tough to be homogenized in a common lab vortexer, the BeadBug provides a convenient and economical alternative to the traditional, over-priced homogenizers on the market today. With up to three tube capacity and a foot print of just 7 x 8″, the BeadBug is
the ideal homogenizing instrument for low to medium throughput laboratories.

It is with great pleasure that we offer to you the latest version of the well established cell disruptor French Press G-M™ Model 11. This new construction has many improvements, but still retains the simplicity and functionality of older models. The unit is designed for use with the Standard Pressure Cells (40 kpsi; 35ml) to achieve the highest pressures available.

For those new to this equipment, we now have a Rental Program describe below to allow for testing prior to a purchase. In addition there are Leasing options to help with funding.

We look forward to helping with all your cell disruption requirements from laboratory scale to full production quantities.
