Adapter for 4 × 50 mL Tubes, Set of 2

The IPD9600-50T is the 4 × 50 mL tube adapter set for the Benchmark Industrial IPD9600 BeadBlaster 96 Ball Mill Homogenizer — sold as set of 2 adapters at $2,231. Each adapter holds 4 × 50 mL tubes; the set of 2 supports 8 × 50 mL tubes per chassis cycle (8 tubes total — 2 adapter positions × 4 tubes each). The tube format is an alternative to the grinding-jar workflow for sample-prep workflows that prefer per-tube individual-sample tracking vs jar-format batch processing.

IPD9600 Sample-Vessel Adapter Family

Why 4 × 50 mL Tube Format vs 50 mL Jar

Pick the IPD9600-50T tube adapter when:

• Workflow runs multiple individual samples in parallel (8 samples per cycle)
• Per-sample chain-of-custody matters (forensic, clinical-research, regulated workflows)
• Disposable single-use tube workflow is preferred (no jar cleaning between samples)
• Per-cycle throughput matters more than per-sample volume capacity

Pick the IPD9600-50S jar when: workflow processes a single bulk sample per cycle position; jar cleaning is acceptable; bulk-sample chemistry is the priority.

Application Profile

Multi-sample microbial / cell-lysis workflows — bacterial / yeast / mammalian cell-lysis at 50 mL tube format with 8-sample parallel throughput.

Clinical-research / forensic individual-sample workflows — workflows requiring per-tube chain-of-custody tracking.

High-throughput tissue homogenization at 50 mL scale — sample-prep facilities processing 8 tissue samples per cycle.

Method-development workflows — protocol-development workflows where per-tube individual processing supports method validation.

Multi-investigator shared-chassis facilities — facilities running mixed jar / tube workflows benefit from the 50 mL tube adapter for per-investigator-tube workflows.

Cannabis individual-sample testing — per-strain / per-batch cannabis sample homogenization with individual-tube chain-of-custody.

Replacement / spare procurement — labs replacing aging adapter sets.

Ordering & Configuration

Pair with chassis. Confirm IPD9600 BeadBlaster 96 chassis is in inventory.

Pair with bead inventory. 50 mL tube workflow typically uses 5–10 mm beads (IPD9600-10BS stainless steel 500 g pack at $153 supports many cycles) or specialty-material beads matching workflow chemistry.

Pair with operator-supplied 50 mL tubes. Standard 50 mL conical tubes (Falcon, VWR, etc.) — confirm specific tube-fit at order if non-standard tube format is workflow-required.

Confirm at quote: chassis pairing, workflow tube vs jar decision, bead inventory matching tube format, and lead time.

Warranty: Per Benchmark Industrial standard accessory terms — confirm at quote.
