Scientific Industries SI-2110 Standard Platform with Bands For Rotator Genie, 0-3000 rpm

The Disruptor Genie is a vigorous mechanical cell disruption device. Applications include cell disruption of yeast, bacteria, plant and animal tissue and for cell re-suspension for DNA mini-preps. The Disruptor Genie dramatically increases the disruption efficiency of the disruption beads, glass or zirconia- silica, because of the unique and patented design of the sample holder. Twelve sample tubes are placed in the Upper Ring of the attachment and allowed to project through corresponding holes in the "Floating" ring below. The holes in the "Floating" ring are smaller than the orbit path of the shaft. Therefore as each of the twelve tubes travel in an orbit corresponding in size with the orbit path of the shaft, the bottoms of the tubes repeatedly and vigorously collide within the confines of the holes in the "Floating" ring. This action in combination with the action of the disruption beads used inside the sample tubes, results in a significant increase in the impact frequency and force. The disruption efficiency is increased dramatically. Specifications: weight: 4.3 Kg. Base measures 4.8" width by 7.5" height by 6.5" depth. CARE AND HANDLING: Disruptor Genie should be given the care normally required for any electrical appliance. Avoid wetting or unnecessary exposure to fumes. The finish can be washed with water (after unplugging) and soap or detergents, using a cloth or sponge. Expendable parts are available for sale including a vast selection of accesories for additional applications. Less costly than ultrasonic units or homogenizers. 120 Volts.
