X-one Bead

Sample Homogenization in the Field — No Power Needed

The X-one Bead series is a line of pre-filled bead tubes optimized for different sample types.
It enables efficient sample lysis not only in the lab but also in outdoor or power-limited environments where conventional homogenizers cannot be used.

Centrifuge-Free Clarification with Included Filter Cap

Each tube comes with a filter cap and is made from a soft, squeezable material.
After homogenization, simply replace the cap with the filter cap and manually squeeze the tube to remove debris and easily collect the clarified supernatant — no centrifuge required.

Manual Homogenization? Yes — with HandXtract.

HandXtract is a simple yet powerful manual homogenizer designed to work without electricity. It holds up to 8 tubes on a long, rod-shaped frame. By vigorously shaking the device for about a minute in a “massaging” motion, the tubes move with amplified displacement, generating far more kinetic energy than by hand-shaking a single tube.
Additionally, the repetitive tapping or pounding motion transfers impact energy from the rod to the tubes, then into the beads, efficiently breaking down even tough sample material.

Sample: Lactuca sativa leaf

DNA Extraction: HiSP Plant DNA Extraction Kit

Lysis comparison: Two different homogenization methods were used during the lysis step.
Lane 1~2: Pre-filled tube kits III with BeadXtract Bead Homogenizer
Lane 3~4: X-one Bead I with HandXtract

All other steps and reagents were kept identical.

Sample: Ginkgo biloba leaf

DNA Extraction: HiPurify Plant DNA Mini Kit II

Lysis comparison: Two different homogenization methods were used during the lysis step.
Lane 1~3: Pre-filled tube kits III with BeadXtract Bead Homogenizer
Lane 4~6: X-one Bead I with HandXtract

All other steps and reagents were kept identical.

The BeadXtract Bead Homogenizer delivers higher yields and sharper results.
However, the X-one Bead + HandXtract system, requiring no electricity or specialized equipment, serves as an efficient and reliable alternative for consistent DNA extraction and PCR performance in limited-resource environments.

HandXtract included free with purchase — for a limited time only.
