The Yamato MBS-3200USYSA is an advanced Multi-beads Shocker, a pulverizer and tissue homogenizer that processes up to 24 samples simultaneously, including yeast, bacteria, molds, and tough animal and plant tissues. It disrupts samples using a distinctive 3D figure-eight motion together with a choice of tubes, rods, and beads, pulverizing material from diverse sample types within seconds. This SKU ships as a set with the sample holder and an external transformer.

Application Profile
Getting clean, complete lysis from tough samples is the unglamorous rate-limiter of a lot of molecular biology. Yeast and fungal cell walls, Gram-positive bacteria, spores, seeds, and fibrous or calcified tissue resist chemical and enzymatic lysis, and inconsistent disruption means inconsistent downstream yield. Bead-beating is the mechanical answer: samples plus beads are shaken violently so the beads grind and shear cells open. The Multi-beads Shocker's 3D figure-eight motion drives that grinding across all three axes, achieving thorough homogenization in seconds rather than the long grinding sessions older mills required.
Processing up to 24 samples at once removes batch-to-batch drift, every tube experiences the same motion for the same time, so lysis is uniform across a run. Matching tube, rod, and bead selection to the sample (small zirconia beads for bacteria, larger beads or rods for tissue) tunes the disruption energy. That flexibility makes the instrument a shared workhorse for DNA/RNA and protein extraction across microbiology, plant science, and animal-tissue labs.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many samples can the Multi-beads Shocker process at once? Up to 24 samples simultaneously, so an entire batch is disrupted under identical conditions.
How does it disrupt samples? Through a 3D figure-eight motion combined with beads, rods, and tubes matched to the sample, mechanical bead-beating that pulverizes material in seconds.
What sample types can it handle? Yeast, bacteria, molds, and tough animal and plant tissues, the hard-to-lyse matrices that resist chemical or enzymatic methods.
What comes with this SKU? This configuration (MBS-3200USYSA) includes the sample holder set and an external transformer.
Does it require a transformer for power? Yes. This kit ships with an external transformer. Confirm your mains supply and the transformer configuration at quote.
What consumables do I need? Tubes, rods, and beads selected to match your sample, bead type and size are chosen for the toughness of the material being disrupted.
