Benchmark BeadBlaster™ 96 Ball Mill Homogenizer

The Benchmark BeadBlaster™ 96 Ball Mill Homogenizer is an extremely versatile bead mill homogenizer with applications in various areas, including biological research, environmental testing, and industrial settings.

Features:

• Easy to Use
  • The BeadBlaster™ 96 requires no special training or installation
  • Jars and adapters are easily loaded into the locking sample holders
  • Setting operating parameters is simple thanks to the touch screen command center
• Large and Digital Touch Screen
  • The control center for all operations is the unit's large touch screen
  • Speed, run time, pause time, and number of cycles are all set and controlled digitally
  • Nine programs can be stored and recalled from memory
• Powerful Motor
  • Inside the BeadBlaster™ 96's housing is a powerful, brushless motor
  • The motor drives the arced shaking motion that quickly grinds and homogenizes samples at speeds up to 1800rpm
  • The quiet, maintenance-free motor will provide a long service life
• Safety First
  • The heavy-duty safety cover opens upward for easy access
  • The see-through, wrap-around design allows for visualization of the samples, while the thick acrylic helps to reduce noise levels
  • The BeadBlaster™ 96 will not operate without the cover properly in place
  • The percent of allowable load is shown on the display, and a safety switch stops the operation of the unit in the case of an overload
• Any Sample - Wet, Dry, or Cryogrind
  • Sample prep is the first step of many applications, whether they be research or analytical. Nearly any type of sample can be processed in the BeadBlaster™ 96
  • Biological samples can be homogenized in buffer using disposable containers from microplates to 50ml tubes
  • QuEChERS tubes can be processed eight at a time
  • Environmental samples, plants, insects, forensic samples, minerals, ores, and many others can be processed dry in jars with large grinding beads
  • Cryogrinding in jars expands the use of the BeadBlaster™ 96 to extra hard, fibrous, or sticky samples that are easier to break down when frozen
• Accepts a Variety of Tubes, Plates, and Jars
  • Adapters (sold separately) are available for microplates, microtubes, and 50 mL tubes
  • Grinding jars and balls in a variety of materials are available for purchase separately
