BIOSPEC MINIBEADBEATER-8 693 HIGH ENERGY CELL DISRUPTER 8 POSITION

The BioSpec Mini-BeadBeater-8 is a high-energy cell disrupter designed to handle four to sixteen samples at a time. It disrupts microbial cells and plant and animal tissue by violently agitating four to sixteen 2 ml screw-cap microvials containing small glass, ceramic or steel beads and disruption buffer. Even resistant samples like yeast, spores or fibrous tissue are completely homogenized around 3 minutes in 0.1 to 1 ml of extraction medium. The non-foaming, aerosol-free method preserves enzymes and organelles. In the presence of nucleic acid extraction media such as phenol, Gu-SCN or a commercial kit solution, DNA or RNA is recovered in the highest possible yield. The method is ideal for PAGE, PCR applications and diagnostics using antibody or oligonucleotide probes.

Speed: 0 - 3200 SPM
