Bead Homogenizers

Bead Homogenizers from Allsheng deliver fast and efficient sample disruption using high-speed, three-dimensional vibration combined with grinding beads. Perfect for laboratories across South Africa, these Bead Homogenizers easily process tough samples like tissues, spores, and cells while preserving the integrity of DNA, RNA, and proteins.

Compatible with a range of bead types—including glass, ceramic, and steel—they offer flexibility and reproducibility across diverse applications. Whether you’re preparing samples for molecular biology, microbiology, or clinical diagnostics, these systems ensure high yield results with minimal hands-on time. To better understand how Bead Homogenizers support precise sample preparation, read our article: Achieving Precision in Sample Preparation: Understanding Homogenizers for Laboratory Applications.

Bead Homogenizer for High-Efficiency Sample Processing

The Bead Homogenizer series from Allsheng, available through Apex Scientific in South Africa, is engineered for high-speed, reproducible homogenization of tough biological samples. Designed for scientists who require precision and efficiency, these robust systems combine grinding, lysis, and homogenization into a single streamlined process. Using three-dimensional high-speed vibration, the Bioprep models are compatible with glass, ceramic, and steel grinding beads, offering flexible and powerful sample disruption for even the most challenging materials.

 

High-Speed Homogenization with Powerful Throughput

The Bioprep-6, Bioprep-24, and Bioprep-24R models all deliver rapid and consistent homogenization, even for samples that are traditionally difficult to lyse, such as bones, cartilage, and resilient tissues. These units excel in applications requiring the release of DNA, RNA, proteins, and enzymes, all while preserving molecular integrity.

The Bioprep-6 is ideal for smaller-scale workflows, offering exceptional control and power in a compact format. Meanwhile, the Bioprep-24 and 24R support high-throughput processing, allowing for the simultaneous preparation of multiple samples. This not only boosts productivity but also ensures uniformity and consistency across replicates.

 

Operational Process

Note: Since the grinding process will generate heat, it is recommended to put the sample into the sample tube and store it at a low temperature (−40 °C) for 12 hours before taking it out for grinding, for better results.

 

Versatile Applications Across Research Fields

Thanks to their broad compatibility with different sample types, Allsheng’s Bead Homogenizers are suitable for a wide range of applications, including:

  • Genomic and proteomic analysis
  • Clinical diagnostics and pharmaceutical research
  • Food safety and microbiology
  • Tissue homogenization from animal, human, or plant sources
  • Processing of microorganisms, spores, and impact-resistant samples

 

Whether working with soft tissue, hard materials, or complex sample matrices, these devices offer reliable performance in routine and advanced laboratory workflows.

 

Built for Reliability and Ease of Use

Each Bead Homogenizer in the Allsheng series features intuitive controls, durable construction, and compatibility with various bead types and tube formats. The robust design minimizes maintenance while ensuring long-term performance under demanding lab conditions.

  • Three-dimensional high-speed vibration for complete lysis
  • Interchangeable bead options to match sample requirements
  • User-friendly interface for simplified operation
  • Compact or high-throughput formats depending on lab needs
