Bullet Blender Tissue Homogenizers

The Next Advance Bullet Blender tissue homogenizer stands out due to several beneficial features: Key Advantages:

• High Throughput: It can process multiple samples simultaneously (up to 24 depending on the model), significantly reducing processing time. For instance, some models can homogenize 24 samples in just minutes.
• Consistent Homogenization: The “bullets” strike all tubes with the same force, ensuring consistent and reproducible results with minimal sample-to-sample variation.
• Versatility: It can homogenize a wide range of samples, from soft tissues like the liver and brain to tougher tissues such as heart, muscle, and even small bones. It’s also suitable for cell lysis, plant material, and small organisms.
• Effective for Various Applications: The Bullet Blender is useful for extracting proteins, nucleic acids, viruses, small molecules, and viable bacteria. It can be used in applications like SDS-PAGE, Western blotting, immunoprecipitation, and enzyme activity assays.
• Reduced Cross-Contamination and Sample Loss: The samples are processed in closed, self-contained tubes, eliminating cross-contamination and minimizing sample loss. There are no probes or blades that require cleaning between runs.
• Cooling Options: Certain models, like the Bullet Blender Storm, have air cooling technology to prevent overheating. The Bullet Blender Gold even offers active 4°C cooling using dry ice for temperature-sensitive samples.
• Ease of Use: The system is designed for simplicity. You just load the samples, beads, and buffer into standard tubes, place them in the Bullet Blender, and set the time and speed.
• Cost-Effective: Compared to other agitation-based homogenizers, the Bullet Blender has a simple and reliable design, making it more affordable. It also uses standard tubes, keeping operating costs low.
• Durability: The Bullet Blender is built to last for many years.
• Good Technical Support: Next Advance provides PhD-level technical support and a wide range of optimized protocols online. Specific Models and Features:
• Bullet Blender 24 Gold+: Features 4°C cooling, noise insulation, and powerful homogenization for up to 24 samples in 1.5 mL tubes.
