Tail Snip Homogenizer & Homogenization Protocol

Ideal for Tail Snip Homogenization

Do you spend lots of time and effort homogenizing tail snip samples? The Bullet Blender® tissue homogenizer delivers superior results: high efficiency and high quality yields. No other homogenizer comes close to delivering the Bullet Blender’s winning combination of top-quality performance and budget-friendly affordability.

The Bullet Blender® Homogenizer Save Time, Effort and Get Superior Results

  • Consistent and High Yield Results Run up to 24 samples at the same time under microprocessor-controlled conditions, ensuring experimental reproducibility and high yield. Process samples from 10mg or less up to 3.5g.
  • No Cross Contamination No part of the Bullet Blender® ever touches the tail snip samples – the sample tubes are kept closed during homogenization. There are no probes to clean between samples.
  • Samples Stay Cool Homogenizing causes only a few degrees of heating. Our “Gold” models keep the samples at 4ºC.
  • Easy and Convenient to Use Just place beads and buffer along with your tail snip sample in standard tubes, load tubes directly in the Bullet Blender, select time and speed, and press start.
  • 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.
