Camlab's Guide to Homogenisation

Omni International now have two Bead Ruptors. Both exhibit  a high power mechanical action, horizontal tube positioning, and optimised bead-beating technology to deliver fast, efficient and reliable homogenisation and lysis in seconds: The  NEW Bead Ruptor 12  Using disposable sample tubes pre-filled with a variety of lysing beads, the Bead Ruptor 12 vigorously and uniformly shakes up to 12 tubes at a time providing an efficient, consistent homogenization and high-yield. Unlike most other bead mill homogenizers, the Bead Ruptor 12 does not require a cool down period between runs. This means more samples can be processed in a smaller amount of time. Benefits of the Bead Ruptor 12 Homogenizer include:

• Simultaneously homogenize up to 12 x 2mL or 0.5mL tubes
• Convenient front-loading tube holder position for ease of use and optimal bead/sample interactions
• Processing range is ideal for soft tissue samples
• No cool-down required between runs = non-stop processing
• Disposable tubes ensure no threat of cross-contamination
• No sample degradation due to quick processing
• Smaller footprint to maximize bench space

 The convenient front-loading design maximizes laboratory bench space, and the removable tube carriage allows for sample pre-cooling and more efficient sample loading. Most Soft tissues (bacteria, liver, brain, skin, etc.); and many Hard/Tough tissues (corn, seeds, soil, etc.) and micro-organisms (gram , gram-, yeast, etc.) can be homogenized with one of 8 adapted bead mixes.   The Omni Bead Ruptor is the newest generation of bead mill homogenizers. This system is specifically designed for grinding, lysis and homogenization of biological samples prior to any molecular extractions. Using sample tubes pre-filled with a variety of lysing beads, the Bead Ruptor vigorously and uniformly shakes the tubes providing an efficient, consistent, high-yield and quality homogenization usually in less than 40 seconds. The Bead Ruptor 24 The  Bead Ruptor 24  is the newest generation of bead mill homogenizers. This system is specifically designed for grinding, lysis and homogenization of biological samples prior to any molecular extractions.   Using sample tubes pre-filled with a variety of lysing beads, the Bead Ruptor vigorously and uniformly shakes the tubes providing an efficient, consistent, high-yield and quality homogenization usually in less than 40 seconds. The Omni Bead Ruptor is an ideal solution for releasing DNA, RNA, proteins, enzymes, etc. from very tough samples while still retaining molecular integrity. The Omni Bead Ruptor is an ideal solution for releasing DNA, RNA, proteins, enzymes, etc. from very tough samples while still retaining molecular integrity.

• Simultaneously homogenize in these tube sizes:

• Convenient front-loading tube holder position for ease of use and optimal bead/sample interactions
• Broad performance range for any type of sample processing
• High reproducibility: number of cycles, time, speed, dwell/pause
• No Cool-down required between runs: process hundreds of samples per day
• 99 programmable memory settings
• Advanced sample temperature monitoring system
• Multi-lingual user interface
• Disposable tubes ensure no threat of cross-contamination or  sample degradation
