Homogenization Beads for Bullet Blender

PDFPrintEmail
Homogenization Beads for the Bullet Blender are essential for disrupting up to 24 of your samples simultaneously. Beads are loaded into Bullet Blender compatible tubes with each sample. The Bullet Blender motor strikes the tubes and disturbs the beads to homogenize, disrupt, or lyse your samples in minutes.

Homogenization Beads for Bullet Blender

Description

Stainless Steel Beads, Zirconium Oxide Beads and Glass Beads shown in the tables below are the most commonly used bead compositions and bead sizes for your Bullet Blender Tissue Homogenizer.

General Guidelines for determining the best bead option for your tissue sample.

  • Use denser beads (Stainless Steel or Zirconium Oxide) for tougher samples
  • Organelle isolation is most effective with larger beads (0.5mm or larger for cell culture, and 1.0mm or larger for tissue)
  • Use bead sizes proportional to the size of the sample. For example, .2mm or smaller beads for cell cultures.
  • Use the bead calculator for help in determining the appropriate volume of beads.

* Beads are also available RNase free, pre-loaded Bead Lysis Kits.
