Sample degradation is often caused by excess heat and is a major issue during homogenization (the processes used to make a mixture of two mutually insoluble liquids the same) in laboratory settings. To combat this, a lot of homogenizers include cooling features intended to prevent heat-related damage. 

Unfortunately, many products that claim to have cooling capabilities lack true consistency, which can result in either frozen or overheated samples.

The Active Cooling Difference

Homogenizers that struggle with consistent cooling often use generic cooling features that fail to account for the sample’s actual temperature. However, Next Advance’s Bullet Blender Gold+ uses an active cooling system powered by dry ice or liquid nitrogen. 

These materials are powerful enough to keep samples at the proper temperature while integrated sensors continuously monitor conditions and automatically adjust homogenizing energy as needed.

Active Cooling: Always 4°C, Whether Dry Ice or Liquid Nitrogen

Thanks to its fully integrated cooling system, the Bullet Blender Gold+ can keep samples at exactly 4°C with either dry ice or liquid nitrogen, accommodating both options for convenience. Its ability to adjust the energy used to homogenize the samples ensures consistent temperatures and mitigates the risk of sample degradation. 

These features far surpass the capabilities of traditional homogenizers, making the Bullet Blender Gold+ the go-to solution for consistent, high-yield homogenization.

Other Benefits of the Bullet Blender Gold+

Labs around the world can benefit from the Bullet Blender Gold+. 

This powerful homogenizer has a large color display with touch-screen controls, built-in noise insulation, and extra-powerful homogenization capabilities for challenging samples. 

Here are a few key features which make the Bullet Blender Gold+ stand out:

• Ease of Use: operating the Bullet Blender Gold+ is as simple as lifting the lid, loading up to 24 samples into standard polypropylene tubes, and placing them into the homogenizer. Unlike other bead mill homogenizers, the Gold+ model does not need a cool-down period.
• Consistent Results: The Bullet Blender Gold+ can homogenize, disrupt, or lyse up to 24 tissue or cell culture samples simultaneously and delivers consistent results within minutes. The homogenizer’s patented striking technology oscillates samples at over 100Hz (over 6000 cycles/minute), and all samples are homogenized in the same high-yield manner—always at 4°C.
• Optimized Protocols: The Bullet Blender Gold+ has over 100 optimized protocols, as well as custom protocols.
• Technical Support: Next Advance ensures the Bullet Blender Gold+ is always reliable and solidly built. It also offers unlimited technical support for its product.

In addition to the Bullet Blender Gold+, Next Advance offers Beat Lysis kits optimized for specific samples and PrecisionPak™ kits designed for higher-quality results specific to individual samples.

Don’t Settle for “Hit or Miss” Homogenization

Easy to use, reliable, and consistent, the Bullet Blender Gold+ is one of the ways to prevent sample degradation during homogenization. Whether a lab has dry ice or liquid nitrogen, the Bullet Blender Gold+ and its fully integrated cooling system can maintain a consistent temperature of 4°C, going far beyond the capabilities of traditional homogenizers to deliver consistent results.
