In molecular biology and microbiology labs, the quality of downstream results often depends on one step done right: sample disruption. Bead-beating homogenizers perform fast, reproducible mechanical lysis inside closed tubes/cuvettes using beads of different materials (ceramic, steel, zirconium, glass, PTFE), helping you standardize extraction workflows for DNA/RNA and proteins.

The Bead-Beating Homogenizers category in COLO Lab Store groups compact tube homogenizers and supporting tools for routine and research sample preparation. Start with the right device class, then choose tube format and bead type for your matrix.

BEAD-BEATING HOMOGENIZER GROUPS

  • Tube bead-beating homogenizers
    for rapid lysis and homogenization in sealed tubes (typical formats: 2 mL, 5 mL, 15 mL, 50 mL).
  • Cryogenic bead mills
    nitrogen cooling / low-temperature grinding for heat-sensitive samples, tough tissues and brittle matrices.
  • Beads, tubes & consumables
    bead sets and tube consumables for reproducible protocols across different sample types.

FEATURED: BEAD-BEATING FOR DNA/RNA WORKFLOWS

Bead-beating technology is especially valuable when you need consistent disruption of hard-to-lyse samples: Gram+ bacteria, yeasts and fungi, spores, fibrous tissues, seeds, soil and sludge. Short, controlled cycles (with optional cooling) help protect nucleic acids and proteins while improving repeatability and yield. Pair the right bead material and size with your tube format to match your matrix and extraction kit.
