A bead beater is used for more aggressive mechanical disruption where beads help break down cells, tissue, plant material, soil, or other difficult samples. The Bead Genie is designed for stronger bead-based sample disruption than a standard vortex mixer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eHow many tubes can the Bead Genie process at one time?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Bead Genie can process up to 12 x 1.5\/2.0 mL microtubes, 6 x 5\/15 mL tubes, or 3 x 20\/50 mL tubes depending on the holder used.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat tube holders are included?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Bead Genie includes 4 tool-free interchangeable tube holders: a vertical holder for 12 x 1.5\/2.0 mL microtubes, a horizontal holder for 12 x 1.5\/2.0 mL microtubes, a holder for 6 x 5\/15 mL tubes, and a holder for 3 x 20\/50 mL tubes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat types of beads can be used with the Bead Genie?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Bead Genie is compatible with glass, stainless steel, and zirconium beads. The best bead type and bead size depend on the sample type and the level of disruption required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCan the Bead Genie be used for bacteria, yeast, fungi, and tissue samples?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The Bead Genie is suitable for bead-based disruption of bacteria, yeast, fungi, tissue, plant material, soil, sediment, biofilms, and other sample types that require aggressive mechanical homogenization.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eDoes the Bead Genie have pulse mode?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The Bead Genie includes variable RUN\/STOP pulse mode from 1 second to 99 minutes. This allows the user to run interval mixing rather than continuous operation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCan the Bead Genie be used in a cold room or biosafety cabinet?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The compact footprint makes it suitable for tight spaces such as benchtops, biosafety cabinets, and cold rooms, provided the unit is used within its stated operating environment of 0°C to 38°C and 95% relative humidity, non-condensing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eIs the Bead Genie suitable for Canadian laboratories?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes.
