BeadBug™ 6, Six Microtube Homogenizer

The BeadBug™ 6 is a compact, high-performance bead homogenizer designed for efficient sample disruption in medium-throughput laboratories.

Using a powerful three-dimensional shaking motion and application-specific beads, the BeadBug 6 rapidly disrupts cells and tissues to release nucleic acids, proteins, and other cellular components. Up to six 2 mL samples can be processed simultaneously, with most applications completed in 45 seconds or less. An optional adapter also accommodates two 5 mL tubes.

Simple programmable controls allow users to set speed, time, cycles, and pauses, while the sealed tubes help minimize cross-contamination. A wide selection of bead materials and sizes is available in both prefilled tubes and bulk formats to support a variety of sample types.
