Omni Bead Ruptor Elite bead mill homogeniser

The Bead Ruptor Elite, a bead mill homogeniser featuring an integrated touchscreen user interface, is suitable for the extraction of DNA, RNA, proteins and small molecules from even tough samples. Serving as an updated version of Omni International’s Bead Ruptor, the Elite is claimed to be the most powerful and advanced bead mill homogeniser available today.

The product showcases an innovative touchscreen dashboard that allows users to easily monitor and control homogenisation preferences. The touchscreen is customisable with programmable protocol settings for speed and processing energy, time, number of runs and dwell (or pause) between cycles.

The 8 GB memory allows users to designate and store over 100 protocol settings with customised titles for maximum repeatability. The user interface features a usage tutorial and a ‘quick-run’ feature for fast and simple processes.

Specifically designed for laboratories that require high-throughput sample disruption, the product’s optimised tube motion, with speeds up to 8 m/s, results in rapid and efficient sample disruption. The versatile unit is compatible with a wide range of accessories, including an array of interchangeable tube carriages capable of processing sample volumes from 250 µL to 50 mL.

Designed with safety in mind, the device is equipped with a sealed processing chamber, lid safety interlock and a convenient front-loading design for ease of use. An optional Omni Cryo cooling unit is available for heat-sensitive samples.
