Bead Ruptor 12

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 12 tubes at a time providing an efficient, consistent homogenization and high-yield.

Technical specification

Benefits of the Bead Ruptor 12 Homogenizer include:

• Simultaneously homogenize up to 12 x 2 ml or 0.5 ml tubes and 4 x 7 ml 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
• Smaller footprint to maximize bench space

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.

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 24 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.

Wide range of bead kits for any sample type

Omni International offers users ultimate flexibility with a range of bead beating tubes and lysing matrices to support homogenization of any sample type.
