The Alkali ScientificD2400 BeadBlaster 24 completely lyses grinds and homogenizes a broad variety of biological samples Even the most difficult and resistant samples are fully homogenized often in 35 seconds or less The stainless steel tube carrier subjects up to 24 samples to an optimized high speed 3D motion producing high energy impacts between the samples and micro-beads to release cellular contents After homogenization samples can be centrifuged and the supernatant collected for further processing Operating parameters for the Alkali ScientificD2400 BeadBlaster 24 are set and displayed digitally To protect fragile heat sensitive samples the unit can be programmed to operate in shortened consecutive cycles with a rest period in between Up to 50 such programs can be stored in memory and recalled for future use A transparent lid allows for visualization of samples and features a mechanical lid lock that prevents opening owhen the BeadBlaster is in operation A brushless motor
