Estimated delivery time: 2-3 weeks

The OHAUS Disruptor Genie is a mechanical cell disruption device built on the Vortex-Genie platform, combining vortex motion with a patented dual-motion mixing mechanism for glass bead cell disruption. It runs at a fixed 3000 rpm (2850 rpm on 50Hz models) with a 0 to 15 minute timer, and holds up to 12 microtubes of 1.5 or 2.0 mL, snap cap or screw cap. Laboratories use it for disrupting yeast cells, bacteria, and tissue samples that need violent high-speed agitation with glass beads. Disruptor Beads are sold separately in 0.1 mm and 0.5 mm sizes for different sample types. Removing the microtube holder and snapping on the pop-off cup converts the unit to a standard single-tube vortex mixer. It suits laboratories running DNA or RNA extraction protocols that call for bead-based cell disruption.

OHAUS Disruptor Genie: Bead-Based Cell Disruption for Yeast, Bacteria, and Tissue

The OHAUS Disruptor Genie combines vortex motion with a patented dual-motion mechanism for mechanical cell disruption using glass beads, on the same platform family as the Vortex-Genie. It suits laboratories running DNA or RNA extraction protocols that need violent, high-throughput bead agitation across up to 12 microtubes at once.

Fixed speed of 3000 rpm (2850 rpm on 50Hz models)
Holds up to 12 microtubes of 1.5 or 2.0 mL, snap or screw cap
Patented dual-motion mixing combines vortex and disruption forces
Converts to a standard vortex mixer by removing the microtube holder
Works with Disruptor Beads sold separately for bacteria, yeast, or fungi samples

OHAUS Disruptor Genie Cell Disruptor

The OHAUS Disruptor Genie is an affordable bead beater for cell disruption and pellet re-suspension in microtubes, built on the Vortex-Genie platform.

Patented Dual-Motion Mixing

A patented mechanism combines vortex and disruption motion, enabling sample-bead collisions that break up pelletized samples directly within the tube.

High-Throughput Microtube Capacity

The unit holds up to 12 microtubes of 1.5 mL or 2.0 mL, snap cap or screw cap, for high-throughput disruption runs.

More Than Disruption

Removing the microtube holder and snapping on the pop-off cup converts the Disruptor Genie into a continuous or timed high-speed vortex mixer for single test tubes.

Ideal Applications

Disruption of yeast cells, bacteria, or tissue samples
DNA and RNA extraction protocols using glass bead disruption
Pellet re-suspension in microtubes

Choose the Disruptor Genie When:

Your protocol calls for glass bead cell disruption
You need to process up to 12 microtubes at once
You want a unit that also works as a standard vortex mixer

OHAUS Value Proposition

The Disruptor Genie continues the Vortex-Genie platform’s reputation for reliable mechanical mixing, now backed by the OHAUS dealer network for order handling, after-sales service, and application support.
