INFOGRAPHIC - How To Design Your Bead Mill Experiment

In this animated infographic video, we walk you through how to design an effective bead mill homogenization experiment, covering the foundational methodology and material science you’ll need to get consistent, high-yield results.

You'll learn how to:
Select the appropriate bead media based on sample type, density, and rigidity
Use Young’s Modulus as a guide for matching bead hardness to your biological material
Optimize parameters like speed, duration, and tube size to prevent sample degradation
Whether you’re working with soft tissue, microbial cells, plant matter, or tough materials like bone or seeds, this video helps you avoid common pitfalls and design your bead milling workflow with confidence.

Perfect for researchers in molecular biology, microbiology, environmental science, and any lab using bead mill homogenizers like the Bead Ruptor Elite, 96, or LH 96.
