Benchmark BeadBug 3-Position Microtube Homogenizer is a compact yet powerful benchtop solution for rapid cell disruption, lysis, and homogenization. Designed for personal or low-throughput labs, the BeadBug enables fast, hands-free processing of up to three 2.0 mL screw-cap tubes simultaneously — often in under 45 seconds.
Unlike vortexers or manual grinders, the BeadBug uses high-speed, high-energy motion and micro-beads to achieve efficient sample disruption. This method not only boosts yield and reproducibility but also eliminates cross-contamination and user fatigue. It’s ideal for hard-to-process samples where traditional homogenization methods fall short.
Features:
- Simultaneously processes up to 3 x 2.0 mL screw-cap tubes
- High-speed bead milling achieves lysis, grinding, or homogenization in seconds
- Compact footprint — less than 7" wide
- Much faster and more effective than manual or vortex-based methods
- Prevents cross-contamination common with handheld homogenizers
- Compatible with a wide range of prefilled and bulk beads
