The Digital Disruptor Genie is a vigorous mechanical cell disruption device. Applications include cell disruption of yeast, bacteria, plant and animal tissue and cell re-suspension for DNA mini-preps. The Digital 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: Environmental: 0 - 38 degree C (32 - 100 degree F), 95 percent humidity max. Weight: 4.3 Kg cast metal base with vibration damping feet. Base measures 4.8" width by 7.5" height by 6.5" depth. CARE AND HANDLING: Digital 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. Keep the unit clean by immediately blotting any spills. Expendable parts are available for sale including a vast selection of accesories for additional applications. It is ideal for accurate, reproducible, repeatable results. Features adjustable speed and speed alarm. 120 Volts.
