BeadBug™3 Microtube homogenizer, 115V – Benchmark Instruments
The BeadBug™3 Microtube Homogenizer (115V) is a compact and powerful homogenizer for microtubes, ideal for fast and efficient sample disruption, lysis, and extraction. It uses high-speed vibration with beads for maximum performance.

BeadBug™3 Microtube homogenizer, 115V
The BeadBug™ 3 is a high-energy benchtop homogenizer that sets the performance standard for personal-sized cell disruption and lysis instruments.
Simultaneous homogenization of up to 3 samples takes place (often within 45 seconds) inside the disposable 2ml screw cap microtubes. The optimized mixing motion causes rapid cell disruption through constant high-velocity impact from the hardened micro-beads chosen specifically for your sample type.
Developed for samples too tough to be homogenized in a common lab vortexer, the BeadBug 3 provides a convenient and economical alternative to the traditional, high-capacity homogenizers on the market today. With up to three-tube capacity and a footprint of just 7 x 8″, the BeadBug 3 is the ideal homogenizing instrument for low to medium throughput laboratories.
