BeadBlaster 24R Refrigerated Microtube Homogenizer, 115V – Benchmark Instruments
The BeadBlaster™ 24R is a microtube homogenizer with refrigeration to protect temperature-sensitive samples. It can process 24 samples at once using high-speed, 3D motion for efficient homogenization. The unit features programmable settings, memory storage, and a brushless motor for quieter operation. Ideal for molecular biology, it includes prefilled kits for various sample types.

BeadBlaster 24R Refrigerated Microtube Homogenizer, 115V
The BeadBlaster™ 24R is a highly efficient bead homogenizer with built-in refrigeration to protect temperature-sensitive molecules from heat degradation and denaturation.
Unlike most bead homogenizers, the BeadBlaster 24R has true, compressor-based refrigeration – no dry ice, no liquid nitrogen, and no air supply needed. Simply set the desired temperature and precool the chamber. Temperature will be maintained throughout the homogenization process to keep samples cool.
The BeadBlaster 24R retains many of the features of our popular BeadBlaster 24. 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. Operating parameters are set and displayed digitally, while 50 profiles can be stored in memory and recalled for future use. A brushless motor reduces motor noise and provides maintenance-free operation.
Benchmark offers an assortment of prefilled tube kits for processing a variety of sample types. The popular Triple-Pure™ kits include acid-washed, heat-treated, zirconium beads. The beads are tested to be free of nucleases, making them ideal for molecular biology applications. A convenient starter kit (D1032-SK) is available to accommodate a broad range of sample types and optimize applications.
