Bead Genie
The Bead Genie™ is a powerful, compact bead mill homogenizer built in the USA for bead beating, lysing, extraction, and homogenization applications. Its aggressive 19 mm vertical mixing motion ensures thorough disruption of tough samples, delivering consistent and reproducible results. A high-efficiency DC motor provides powerful, unique vertical motion to ensure smooth and efficient operation.
The solid metal casting weighs 13 pounds, ensuring stable performance without movement during aggressive vertical mixing. The space-saving design easily fits on the lab bench, into a biosafety cabinet, or in a cold room. Digital speed and time control provide accuracy, reproducibility, and repeatability with complete control over run parameters. A variable RUN/STOP pulse function enables rapid pulsing for superior interval mixing.
