Precellys 24 Touch can treat up to 24 samples at a time and has been validated on more than 1,500 different samples: from brain, muscle and heart samples, to very hard material such as bones, hair and seeds.

Its intuitive touchscreen interface makes it really easy to use.

Thanks to its exclusive vacuum-based tube locking system and its specific design, Precellys 24 Touch is compliant with safety requirements of the harshest lab environments, such as BSL3.

With its powerful figure-8 multi-directional motion, it provides high energy to the beads contained in the tubes, allowing the homogenization of up to 24 samples in a few seconds (~30 sec) at speeds ranging from 4000 to 6800 rpm.

Samples can then be processed for further analysis amongst a wide variety of techniques dedicated to DNA/RNA (PCR, electrophoresis, NGS, chips, etc.), protein (blotting, mass spectrometry, etc.), or metabolites analyses (chromatography, etc.).

Grind and homogenize a wide range of biological samples with Precellys® 24!

Designed for L3 laboratories, it is highly robust for daily use.

The system enables the preparation of up to 24 biological samples from soft to

hard tissue (animal & human tissue, plant tissue, microorganisms…) and has been

validated on more than 1000 different samples: from brain, muscle and heart

samples to very hard matter such as bones, hair and rice.

A figure-8 multi-directional motion gives a high energy to the beads that grind

up to 24 samples in few seconds (~30 sec) at speed ranging from 4000 to

6800 rpm.

Samples are then ready for analysis using DNA/RNA analysis, PCR, Electrophoresis,

The BeadBug™ 3 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 3 provides a convenient and economical alternative to the traditional, high capacity homogenizers on the market today. With up to three tube capacity and a footprint of just 7 x 8″, the BeadBug 3 is the ideal homogenizing instrument for low to medium throughput laboratories.

• Extremely powerful mixing for lysis, grinding or homogenization
• Faster and more effective than tissue grinders
• Homogenize 1, 2 or 3 tubes simultaneously
• Extremely compact, less than 7″ wide
• Eliminates the cross contamination associated with handheld homogenizers
• Full range of beads in prefilled tubes and bulk available

Specifications

• Speed Range 2800 to 4000rpm 
• Capacity 3 x 2.0ml (Screw cap / non-skirted) 
• Timer 3 sec. to 3 min. 
• Dimensions 6.9 x 8.3 x 5.3 in / 17 x 21 x 13.5 cm 
• Weight 5 lbs / 2.2 kg

• Electrical 115V 60Hz or 230V 50Hz

The BeadBug™ 6 joins the large capacity BeadBlaster™ 24 and personal sized BeadBug™ 3 as the newest member of the Benchmark homogenizer line. Like the other members of the Benchmark Microtube Homogenizer family, the BeadBug 6 utilizes a three dimensional shaking motion to disrupt samples. This motion, when combined with beads of the appropriate size and material, causes high velocity impacts with the sample and is an extremely fast and efficient method for releasing cellular contents, including nucleic acids and proteins. Many different sample types, from cells in culture to organ tissues and bone can be homogenized in the BeadBug 6, most within 45 seconds. Programming the unit is very simple – just set the speed, time, number of cycles and pause between cycles, then press start. For convenience, the last programmed parameters remain in memory for repeated runs.

Sealed tubes prevent cross contamination in the BeadBug 6. Samples are simply loaded into the tubes along with the beads and placed in the unit for processing. After homogenization, tubes are spun briefly in a centrifuge, and the lysate removed with a pipette.

Designed to fit the needs of medium throughput laboratories, the BeadBug 6 can simultaneously process up to six samples in 2.0ml tubes. With optional adapters, the unit will also accept two 5.0ml tubes. A full range of bead materials and sizes are available in both prefilled tubes and in bulk to meet all your sample processing needs.

The BeadBlaster™ 24 completely lyses, grinds and homogenizes a broad variety of biological samples. Even the most difficult and resistant samples are fully homogenized, often in 35 seconds or less.

The stainless steel tube carrier subjects up to 24 samples to an optimized, high speed, 3D motion, producing high energy impacts between the samples and micro-beads to release cellular contents. After homogenization, samples can be centrifuged and the supernatant collected for further processing.

Operating parameters for the BeadBlaster 24 are set and displayed digitally. To protect fragile, heat sensitive samples, the unit can be programmed to operate in shortened consecutive cycles with a rest period in between. Up to 50 such programs can be stored in memory and recalled for future use. A transparent lid allows for visualization of samples, and features a mechanical lid lock that prevents opening the lid when the BeadBlaster is in operation. A brushless motor reduces motor noise and provides maintenance free operation.

Benchmark offers an assortment of prefilled tube kits for a variety of sample types. The popular Triple-Pure™ kits include acid washed, heat treated, zirconium beads. The beads are tested to be free of nucleases, making them ideal for molecular biology applications. A convenient starter kit (D1032-SK) is available to accommodate a broad range of sample types and optimize applications.
