The easiest and coolest way to
homogenize E. coli

No chemical lysis or harsh detergents required!
Your E. coli samples stay cool!

The Bullet Blender™ > No Chemical Lysis or Harsh Detergents > No Cross Contamination > Samples stay cool > Convenient > Risk Free Lyse many E. coli samples at the same time, in just minutes! The Bullet Blenders™ enable you to lyse up to 24 E. coli cultures in microcentrifuge tubes or up to 9 E. coli cultures in 50 mL tubes at a time. Load the cultures along with beads in standard polypropylene tubes into the Bullet Blender™ (shown above on the left) or Bullet Blender™ Blue 50 (shown above on the right). The "bullets" in the "blender" vigorously strike all the sample tubes simultaneously for a few minutes. The agitation homogenizes the samples. The easiest way to harvest native proteins or nucleic acids.

The Bullet Blender™ microtube models holds up to 24 E. coli cultures in microcentrifuge tubes at a time. Process times of 3 to 5 minutes for disrupting E. coli. See our suggested protocols for lysing E. coli and disrupting other cells and tissue.	The Bullet Blender™ 50 mL models holds up to 9 E. coli cultures in 50 ml tubes at a time. The sample, lysis buffer, and beads should occupy no more than 15 ml of any tube. Process times of 6 to 10 minutes are typical for disrupting E. coli cultures. suggested protocol.
The Bullet Blender™ and the Bullet Blender™ Blue enable you to disrupt or homogenize up to 24 E. coli or other tissue/cell samples at a time. Load the E. coli cultures or other samples in standard polypropylene microcentrifuge tubes into the Bullet Blender™. Likewise, the Bullet Blender™Blue 50 can disrupt or homogenize up to 9 E. coli or other samples at a time loaded in 50 ml polypropylene tubes. Balls (the "bullets") repeatedly strike the sample tubes in a controlled manner, thousands of times per minute, inducing vigorous motion of the E. coli cultures or other substances inside the tubes. This provides efficient mixing. With beads in the sample tubes, the cell cultures, or tissues, are thoroughly homogenized. Tune the extent of disruption by adjusting the speed.

> No Chemical Lysis or Harsh Detergents Required The Bullet Blender™ lyses E. coli and other cells using mechanical action so no alkaline buffers are necessary. See the protocols for preparation times and speeds. > No Cross Contamination The E. coli or other samples are disrupted (or mixed) non-invasively. The sample tubes are kept closed during agitation, as the cell cultures are processed. There are no probes to clean between samples. > Samples Stay Cool The instrument uses very little power due to the unique, patented design. It uses a small DC motor to agitate the individual tubes, not ultrasonics. Also, because the motor does not need to agitate any heavy platforms or plates, it is small and will last for years. > Convenient to Use Simply place your E. coli or other cell cultures and some beads in standard high quality polypropylene tubes, and load the tubes into the Bullet Blender™. Set the duration (typically a few minutes) and speed (vigorousness). There are no probes to clean. And it is quieter than a sonicator and does not heat up your samples more than a few degrees! > Risk Free Purchase The Bullet Blender™ comes with a 30 day money back guarantee and a 2 year warranty, with a 3 year warranty on the motor. The simple, reliable design enables the Bullet Blenders™ to sell for a fraction of the price of ultrasonic or other agitation based instruments, yet provides an easier, quicker technique.
