OHAUS Bead Genie Compact Bead Beater Homogenizer
€2.560,00 excl. VAT
The OHAUS Bead Genie is a compact yet heavy-duty bead beater ideal for lysing, extraction, or homogenization, using an aggressive 19 mm reciprocating vertical mixing motion. It runs from 500 to 4800 strokes per minute, with a timer from 1 second to 99 minutes and adjustable pulse ON/OFF timing for interval mixing. The unit ships with 4 holders, covering 12 microtubes of 1.5 or 2.0 mL vertically or horizontally, 6 tubes of 15 or 5 mL, and 3 tubes of 50 or 20 mL. Laboratories use it for sample preparation that needs mechanical disruption without the footprint of a larger bead beater. Beads are sold separately, in stainless steel or zirconium formats for different sample types. It suits laboratories with tight bench space, biosafety cabinets, or cold rooms.
