Bead Genie, 230 V, EU plug is a compact, robust bead-mill homogeniser for lysing, extracting and homogenising laboratory samples using an aggressive vertical mixing action. Belonging to the established Genie family now available from manufacturer Ohaus, the instrument features a massive cast-metal housing and a strong 19 mm vertical orbit that keeps vessels secure during high-energy runs. Digital controls manage speed and time, including countdown and interval operation, across a range of 500 to 4800 min⁻¹, with LCD/LED status display. Tool-free interchangeable holders accept vertical loads of 12 micro tubes (1,5 or 2,0 ml), six 15 ml or 5 ml tubes, or three 50 ml or 20 ml tubes, as well as horizontal placement of 12 micro tubes (1,5 or 2,0 ml). Delivery includes the instrument base with non-slip feet, mains cable and four holders; beads are ordered separately. This version is specified for 240 V AC with an EU plug. Approximate net weight is 6,038 kg and overall footprint suits crowded benches. A practical choice for reproducible bead-based sample disruption in molecular biology and related workflows.

Questions about Bead Genie, 230V, EU plug
What is this article?
Bead Genie, 230V, EU plug is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Ohaus for laboratory use. It sits in Vortex mixers, inside Stirring, shaking & mixing, in Lab instruments.
A vortex mixer oscillates a cup so a tube pressed into it spins its contents into a vortex. It mixes a tube in seconds. It does not mix a flask, and it is not a substitute for a shaker when the method says thirty minutes.
Stirring keeps a mixture uniform or helps a solid dissolve. A magnetic stirrer spins a bar inside a closed vessel. An overhead stirrer drives a shaft when the liquid is viscous or the volume is large. A vortex mixer agitates a tube. A shaker moves a whole rack or a plate. The shape of the impeller and the speed decide whether the liquid turns over or merely spins. The vessels being stirred are indexed under ISO laboratory glassware.
