Discovery is delighted to announce the release of the long-awaited alternative to the Bertin PreCellys from Omni International of Kennesaw, GA. The Omni Bead Ruptor is the newest generation of highly efficient  bead mill homogenizers.

Key Features:

  • - Simultaneously homogenize either 24 x 2mL or 12 x 5mL tubes
  • - Unique front-loading tube holder position for ease of use and optimal bead/sample interactions
  • - Broad speed range for any type of sample processing
  • - High reproducibility: number of cycles, time, speed, dwell/pause
  • - No cool-down between runs: process hundreds of samples per day
  • - 99 program pre-set memory
  • - Advanced sample temperature monitoring system
  • - Multi-lingual user interface
  • - Interchangeable adapters for different tube sizes
  • - Disposable tubes ensure no threat of cross-contamination or sample degradation
This system is specifically designed for the grinding, lysing and homogenization of biological samples prior to any molecular extractions. Using sample tubes pre-filled with a variety of lysing beads, the Bead Ruptor 24 vigorously and uniformly shakes the tubes providing an efficient and high-yield homogenization usually in less than 40 seconds.

The Omni Bead Ruptor 24 can simultaneously grind up to 24 tubes of 2mL or 12 tubes of 7mL in seconds at very high speed for releasing DNA, RNA, Proteins, Enzymes etc. while still retaining molecular integrity. The Bead Ruptor 24 guarantees a homogeneous and efficient homogenization combining high yield, quality analysis and consistency.

All soft tissues (bacteria, liver, brain, skin etc.) and hard/tough tissues (bones, corn, hair, seeds, soil etc.) can be homogenized with one of 8 adapted bead kits.
