The IPD1196-40 is the prefilled bead plate consumable for the Benchmark Industrial IPD9600 BeadBlaster 96 Ball Mill Homogenizer — sold as pack of 10 plates. Each plate is a 96-well plate prefilled with 4 mm beads in every well — eliminating the per-well bead-loading workflow step that manual bead-mill workflows require. The 4 mm bead size is typical for tissue-class samples (animal / plant tissue homogenization).

| SKU | IPD1196-40 |
| Type | 96-well plate prefilled with beads |
| Bead size | 4 mm (tissue-class homogenization size) |
| Plate format | 96-well (full-plate well count for high-throughput parallel homogenization) |
| Pack quantity | 10 plates (10 × 96 wells = 960 prefilled samples per pack) |
| Per-plate cost | $212 |
| Per-well cost | $2.21 |
| Compatible chassis | IPD9600 BeadBlaster 96 |
| Companion consumables | IPD1196-CM (EVA cap mat for sealing the bead plate, $102), IPD1196-MP (matching 96 deep-well 2.0 mL genomics plate, $104) |
| List price | $2,117 |
Manual bead-mill workflows require per-well bead loading — operator pipettes bulk beads (or manually weighs / counts beads) into each well of the homogenization plate, then loads sample, then runs the bead mill. For 96-well throughput workflows, manual loading is the rate-limiting step — typical 20-30 minutes of operator time per plate.
Prefilled bead plate workflow:
Workflow advantages:
The IPD1196 family includes prefilled plates at multiple bead sizes (typical bead-mill workflow conventions):
| Bead size | Best for sample type |
| 4 mm (this product) | Tissue-class samples — animal tissue, plant tissue (typical lysis-buffer + bead workflow) |
| 2.5–3 mm (smaller bead size variants) | Microbial / bacterial cell lysis |
| 5–6 mm (larger bead size variants) | Tougher tissue / fibrous samples |
The IPD1196-40 SKU specifically designates the 4 mm bead size — confirm bead-size match to workflow protocol at order; some workflows may require sister SKUs at different bead sizes.
The 10-plate pack at $2,117 = $212 per plate = $2.21 per prefilled well. For high-throughput workflows running multiple plates per day, the per-well cost economics compete favorably against manual bead-loading time + bulk-bead consumable cost + operator-time-saving value.
High-throughput tissue homogenization — production sample-prep facilities running 96-sample tissue-homogenization batches for downstream nucleic-acid extraction, protein extraction, or other analytical workflows.
Animal-tissue extraction workflows — DNA / RNA / protein extraction from animal tissue samples at production scale.
Plant-tissue extraction workflows — plant biology research where 96-sample tissue homogenization at consistent bead quantity matters for reproducibility.
Method-development workflows — protocol-development workflows where the prefilled-plate format eliminates loading-step variability during method-validation.
Educational laboratory programs — high-throughput plant / animal biology coursework where the prefilled format simplifies student-cohort exercises.
Regulated workflow facilities — labs running regulated sample-prep protocols benefit from the pre-validated bead loading.
Pair with IPD1196-CM EVA cap mat for plate sealing during bead-mill cycle.
Pair with IPD9600 BeadBlaster 96 chassis in inventory.
Confirm bead size at order. Workflow protocol may specify 4 mm or alternative bead size — confirm before bulk procurement.
Storage. Sterile bead-loaded plates ship in sealed packaging; store at room temperature.
Confirm at quote: chassis pairing (IPD9600 in inventory), workflow bead-size requirement, EVA cap mat (IPD1196-CM) inventory, sample plate (IPD1196-MP if separate sample plate is part of workflow) inventory, throughput sizing, and lead time.
Warranty: Per Benchmark Industrial standard consumable terms — confirm at quote.
