The IPD9600-3858-1 is the ceramic grinding bar consumable for the Benchmark Industrial IPD9600 BeadBlaster 96 Ball Mill Homogenizer, sold as pack of 100 bars. Ceramic grinding bars are an alternative homogenizer geometry (angled bars vs spherical balls) engineered for specific tissue / sample workflows where the angled-bar shape delivers different homogenization mechanics than ball-format media. Bar dimensions: 3/8 inch Γ 5/8 inch with 45Β° angle (medium ceramic homogenizer size in the catalog).
Author confidence note (MEDIUM): Specific brochure / datasheet for the ceramic grinding bar accessory not present in the IPD9600 brochure corpus. Specs from universe label; confirm specific homogenization mechanics, sample-fit recommendations, and per-cycle bar-quantity at first order with Accuris technical support.
| SKU | IPD9600-3858-1 |
| Type | Ceramic grinding bars: angled (45Β°) homogenizer media |
| Bar dimensions | 3/8 inch Γ 5/8 inch (~9.5 Γ 16 mm) |
| Angle | 45Β° (angled-bar geometry) |
| Material | Ceramic |
| Pack quantity | 100 bars |
| Compatible chassis | IPD9600 BeadBlaster 96 |
| Sister bar SKU (different size) | IPD9600-3878-1 (3/8 Γ 7/8 ceramic bar, 100/pk, $42; same per-pack price, different bar length) |
| Sister bead-format media | IPD9600-10BS (10 mm SS, bulk pack), IPD9600-15ZOB (15 mm ZrOβ, each), IPD9600-15PTFB (15 mm PTFE, each), IPD9600-25BS (25 mm SS, each), IPD9600-10TCB (10 mm WC, each) |
| List price | $42 (100 bars = $0.42 per bar) |
| Geometry | Homogenization mechanism | Best for |
| Spherical balls (IPD9600-10BS / -15ZOB / -15PTFB / -25BS / -10TCB) | Point-impact + rolling motion | Tissue / mineral / bulk-sample homogenization |
| Angled bars (this product family) | Edge-impact + rolling motion with angled shear | Specific tissue workflows benefiting from edge-shear mechanics; cell-lysis applications where ball-format provides insufficient shear |
Pick angled bars when:
Pick spherical balls (sister bead SKUs) for the default workflow, most BeadBlaster 96 workflows use spherical balls per the IPD9600 brochure.
The IPD9600 ceramic-bar family includes two bar-length variants at the same per-pack price:
| SKU | Bar dimensions | Best for |
| IPD9600-3858-1 (this product) | 3/8 Γ 5/8 inch (shorter) | Smaller jar / tube workflows; finer-shear applications |
| IPD9600-3878-1 | 3/8 Γ 7/8 inch (longer) | Larger jar workflows; coarser-shear applications |
Both bars at same per-pack price ($42 / 100 = $0.42 per bar).
Specific tissue / cell-lysis workflows requiring bar geometry. Workflows where standard ball-format media delivers insufficient shear; method-development workflows specifying bar-format media.
Educational laboratory bead-mill workflows. Coursework introducing alternative bead-mill media geometries (ball vs bar comparison).
Multi-investigator shared-chassis facilities. Facilities running mixed-protocol workflows benefit from bar-format inventory alongside ball-format inventory.
Method-development workflows. Protocol-development workflows comparing geometry effects on extraction yield or homogenization efficiency.
Replacement / spare procurement. Labs replenishing bar-format media inventory.
Pair with chassis + sample vessel. Confirm IPD9600 BeadBlaster 96 chassis + appropriate sample-vessel format (jar / tube adapter / plate).
Confirm bar-format requirement. Standard ball-format media (sister bead SKUs) is the default workflow. Confirm the workflow specifically requires bar-format media before procuring this SKU.
Quantity sizing. 100-pack bulk supports a substantial number of cycles; per-bar use depends on sample-vessel format and workflow protocol.
Confirm at quote: chassis pairing (IPD9600 in inventory), workflow bar-format requirement (vs standard ball-format), bar-length selection (3858-1 shorter vs 3878-1 longer), and lead time.
Warranty: Per Benchmark Industrial standard consumable terms. Confirm at quote.
Benchmark Industrial IPD9600 ceramic grinding bar pair (both $42):
- IPD9600-3858-1 (this product): 3/8 Γ 5/8 inch bars, 100/pk ($42, $0.42/bar), shorter
- IPD9600-3878-1 (3/8 Γ 7/8 inch bars, 100/pk ($42, $0.42/bar)) longer
Pick the 3858-1 (shorter) for smaller-jar / finer-shear workflows; sister 3878-1 for larger-jar / coarser-shear workflows. Step to ball-format media (IPD9600-10BS / -15ZOB / -25BS / etc.) for the default bead-mill workflow.
