Bead mills are typically used for the analysis laboratory samples that are very difficult to disrupt with standard mechanical homogenizers. The combination of the rotational effect and the grinding beads produces a faster, more effective lysing / homogenization process for biological samples.
Models in Bead Homegenizers are :
Bead Ruptor 4
Bead Ruptor 12
Bead Ruptor 24
Bead Ruptor 24 Elite
High shear laboratory homogenizers are designed to process tough samples quickly and efficiently without compromising the sample. Faster homogenization times mean less chance of heat degradation to the sample. These homogenizer motors are available in hand held or stand mounted configurations with high speeds of up to 75,000 rpm. Homogenizers are a standard piece of equipment for any lab.
Models in High Shear Homegenizer are:
Tissue Master
TH Tissue Homogenizer
GLH-850
Mixers
Micro
THQ Digital Tissue Homogenizer
Multi-Sample Homogenizers are extremely convenient for laboratory researchers who are processing a large number of similar samples. These systems allow for many lab samples to be homogenized simultaneously reducing labor intensive single sample processing.
Models in Multi Sample Homegonizer are:
Omni Prep Multi-Sample
Prep 96 Homogenizer
LH 96 Automated Homogenizer Workstation
Ultrasonic Homogenizers are recommended for homogenization and lysis of laboratory samples that do not require traditional grinding or rotor-stator cutting techniques for processing. Small and large ultrasonic probes are available to allow for a variety of sample volumes to be processed. Ultrasonic probes are made of chemical resistant solid titanium. A solid probe allows for less chance of sample loss and cross-contamination between samples.
Models in Ultrasonic Homogenizers are:
Sonic Ruptor 400 Ultrasonic
Ultrasonic Ruptor 4000 Ultrasonic
