With the Bullet Blender^® from NextAdvance you can homogenize, disrupt or lyse up to 24 tissue or cell culture samples at once. Mix your samples with appropriate beads in standard tubes and place them in the Bullet Blender^®. The mechanics of the device will vigorously hit all tubes and homogenize your sample in a few minutes.

The Bullet Blender^®

• can lyse cells for the isolation of nucleic acids, proteins, viruses, organelles and single chemical substances.
• can isolate bacteria, primary cells, lymphocytes, etc. from animal and plant tissues.
• prepares up to 24 samples in just a few minutes. All samples are automatically homogenized in the same way, with high yield, so there is very little variation from sample to sample.
• produces fast shaking motions with minimal sample heating by utilizing ambient air circulation.
• is easy to operate.
• operates without sensors or blades that can come into direct contact with samples and cause contamination or sample loss.

Choose the right Bullet Blender^® for your application!

The Bullet Blender^® is available in three sizes for 1.5 ml tubes, 5 ml tubes or 50 ml tubes and two variants (uncooled/cooled). Cooling is achieved by filling dry ice into a container on the side. The cold air circulates during the run and thus cools the sample without freezing it. The Bullet Blender^® for 50 ml tubes is only available in the cooled version.

The right choice of beads

We have a selection of beads in stock for you to lyse, homogenize or dissociate most samples. They are available as non-sterile or RNAse-free versions. A convenient option is the “Navy Kit”, where a suitable amount of bead mix is pre-packed in a 1.5 ml tube and can serve most samples. If you do not find your sample in the following list, please contact us. We can help you to find the right recipe.

The appropriate amount of beads and buffers for your sample, as well as the optimal settings of the Bullet Blender^®, can be found on the Next Advance protocol page. For more information, ordering, pricing, demo requests about the Bullet Blender^® send us an email.
