Bead Beater Homogenizer

icon-wave

The bead beater is a machine that uses mechanical disruption to lyse and homogenise biological samples. Samples are homogenised with a lysing matrix (beads-hence the name bead beater)

  • Require specially bought tubes that are compatible with machine
  • Lysing matrix must be suitable for sample

What kind of research is applicable / suitable for this equipment?

  • Researchers that need to lyse or pulverise tissue, cells, bacteria. Researchers that want to prepare samples for downstream processes like DNA or RNA extraction.

Any chargeable costs for equipment usage?

No.
