Omni International Reinforced Tube 7 ml for Bead Raptor – 100 Tubes

Description

Omni International Bead Ruptor Empty Reinforced Tubes – 7 mL, Polypropylene, Screw Cap, Non-Pre-Filled (MPN: 19-651-2)

The Omni International 19-651-2 is a premium, high-impact laboratory consumable precision-engineered to withstand the extreme mechanical forces generated during bead mill bead-beating and mechanical tissue lysing applications. Formulated from specialized, structurally reinforced virgin polypropylene, these 7 mL vessels serve as the dedicated baseline container for processing larger or highly fibrous samples on Omni Bead Ruptor workstations (including the Bead Ruptor 12 and Bead Ruptor Elite 24 models). Equipped with a secure-locking screw cap that eliminates leaks, fluid spraying, and aerosol venting, these thick-walled empty tubes provide maximum structural integrity under continuous multi-axial shaking regimes without cracking or breaking.

Technical Performance and Design

• High-Impact Reinforced Polypropylene Architecture: Unlike standard, thin-walled microcentrifuge or transport tubes that split open under heavy mechanical shear, these vessels feature a fortified polymer cross-section designed to endure continuous collisions from heavy ceramic, glass, or stainless steel grinding beads.

• Secure Mechanical Screw Cap Closure: Outfitted with deep, precision-molded threads along the cap and neck interface. This structural alignment establishes a tight physical seal that prevents sample leaking, intermediate fluid pressure drops, and cross-batch aerosol carryover during high-velocity shake intervals.

• Wide Temperature and G-Force Horizons: Built to maintain material flexibility and structural shape across a broad performance window, handling ultra-low deep freezer archiving down to minus 80 C and centrifugal forces up to 5000 x g inside matching rotor buckets.

• Custom Bead Media Architecture: Shipped as empty, un-filled bulk tubes without internal lysing matrices. This lets laboratory teams custom-configure, weigh, and optimize their own bead mixtures (such as varying ratios of 2.4 mm metal or 2.8 mm ceramic beads) tailored to unique tissue profiling steps.

Key Benefits and Applications

• Fibrous and Tough Tissue Disruption: The premier sample prep vessel for grinding down complex hard specimens such as muscle tissue, heart fragments, skin punch biopsies, bone marrow, and fibrous plant stalks prior to downstream extraction loops.

• DNA, RNA, and Protein Isolation: Provides an ideal, heavy-duty processing space for completely breaking down cellular structures, liberating nucleic acids and functional enzymes into stabilizing isolation buffers.

• Eliminated Cross-Contamination Liabilities: Designed as a single-use disposable component, removing the extensive downtime, validation tracking, and cleaning cross-contamination risks associated with legacy reusable stainless steel homogenization probes.

• Bead Ruptor Platform Fitment: Precision-sized to slot directly into specialized 7 mL tube carriages and custom multi-tube holder rings used across Omni’s automated bead mill homogenizer lines.
