Efficient Cool Homogenizers
Consistent Results
The Bullet Blender tissue homogenizer prepares up to 24 samples in just minutes, using patented striking technology to oscillate samples at over 100 Hz (equivalent to over 6000 cycles/minute). All of the samples are automatically homogenized in the same manner, with high yields, so there is very little variation from sample to sample. See the Protocols page for preparation times and speeds.
Samples Stay COOL
No cool down periods needed. Unlike other bead mill homogenizers, the Bullet Blender applies rapid bursts of agitation with the samples free to oscillate in air. Its elegant design provides convection cooling of the samples, unique to the Bullet Blender. Competing bead mill homogenizers generate excessive sample heating, so they require cool down periods between periods of agitation, thereby greatly extending homogenization cycles and handling with sample degradation. In comparison, the Bullet Blender’s unique and elegant design maximizes the efficiency of the agitation, in turn keeping the samples cooler.
The Bullet Blender Gold+ models actively control the temperature of the samples. While other homogenizers control the air temperature, samples heat up to temperatures much hotter than the air. That’s why most of them interrupt the agitation with long cool-down periods. In the Bullet Blenders, your samples will never get much warmer than the surrounding air, and in the Gold+ models, they will be kept at 4°C.
Easy to Use
In addition to homogenizing animal tissue, plant matter, small organisms and microorganisms, the Bullet Blender is an excellent cell disruptor to isolate live bacteria from organs, generate nanoparticles, and isolate organelles from cells. Use it for a variety of protein applications as well, such as SDS-PAGE, Western blotting, immunoprecipitation, or enzyme activity assays.
It’s so easy to use. Simply place your sample, beads and buffer in standard tubes, and load the tubes into the Bullet Blender tissue homogenizer. Tune the extent of disruption by adjusting the run time and speed. Afterwards, place the sample tubes in a centrifuge
to separate the lysate. Unlike other brands, there is no fussing with tube holders. There are no clamp plates nor locking rings to fiddle with.
No Cross-Contamination
There are no probes or blades that directly contact samples in the Bullet Blender tissue homogenizer to cause cross contamination or sample loss. The sample tubes are kept closed and self-contained during homogenization. For the user, this also means there are no parts to clean between runs.
