| Omni Bead Ruptor bead mill homogenizer
Discovery is delighted to announce the release of the long-awaited
alternative to the Bertin PreCellys from Omni International of Kennesaw,
GA. The Omni Bead Ruptor is the newest generation of highly efficient
bead mill
homogenizers.
Key Features:
-
Simultaneously homogenize either 24 x 2 mL or 12 x 5 mL tubes
- Unique front-loading tube holder position for ease of use and
optimal bead/sample interactions
- Broad speed range for any type of sample processing
-
High reproducibility: number of cycles, time, speed, dwell/pause
-
Powerful brushless motor does not require a cool down period between processing cycles like competitive products.
- Removable tube carriage allows for sample pre-cooling and more efficient sample loading.
-
99 program pre-set memory
-
Advanced sample temperature monitoring system
- Waterproof seal prevents contamination of motor compartment
-
Multi-lingual user interface
- Interchangeable adapters for different tube sizes
-
Disposable tubes ensure no threat of cross-contamination or sample
degradation
This system is specifically designed for the grinding,
lysing and homogenization of biological samples prior to any molecular
extractions.
Using sample tubes pre-filled with a variety of lysing beads, the Bead
Ruptor 24 vigorously and uniformly shakes the tubes providing an
efficient and high-yield homogenization usually in less than 40 seconds. The Bead Ruptor uses an advanced carriage motion that optimizes bead movement inside the sample tubes to minimize swirling. This increases processing efficiency and reduces sample heating.
The Omni Bead Ruptor 24 can simultaneously grind up to 24
tubes of 2mL or 12 tubes of 5mL in seconds at very high speed for
releasing DNA, RNA, proteins, enzymes, etc. while still retaining
molecular integrity. The Bead Ruptor 24 guarantees a homogeneous and
efficient homogenization combining high yield, quality analysis and
consistency.
All soft tissues (bacteria, liver, brain, skin etc.)
and hard/tough tissues (bones, corn, hair, seeds, soil etc.) can be
homogenized with one of 8 adapted bead kits.

Accessories - Omni Cryo 24 Cooling Unit
The Cryo 24 cooling unit (part number 19-8010) is the perfect companion to the Bead Ruptor 24. It keeps samples cool before, during and after processing. The unit can be used with liquid nitrogen or dry ice to maintain a consistent temperature for heat-sensitive samples. The Cryo 24 operates by passing compressed air through a heat exchanger where the liquid nitrogen or dry ice cool the air prior to moving it across the sample tubes. Compressed air and either liquid nitrogen or dry ice are required to operate the Cryo 24.
Accessories - Tube holder for 5 mL lysing tubes
The 5mL Bead Ruptor tube carriage kit includes a specially designed tube carriage and finger plate that facilitates the use of 12 x 5mL tubes with the Bead Ruptor 24.
Accessories - Lysing Kits
Omni Bead Ruptor lysing kits are available with plastic or stainless steel pre-filled sample tubes and are ideal for extracting nucleic acids, drugs, proteins, enzymes, viruses, etc. Efficiently lyse with or without buffer. Available options include:
