FoamBlocker – Antifoam Reagent for Sample Homogenisation

Product Code: AFM2

Product Overview

FoamBlocker from Next Advance is a specialised antifoam reagent designed to minimise excessive foaming during sample homogenisation. Ideal for use with bead mill homogenisers such as the Bullet Blender®, FoamBlocker helps maintain sample integrity and improves overall processing efficiency.

During homogenisation—particularly when working with buffers containing detergents—samples can produce excessive foam, which may interfere with lysis efficiency and downstream applications. FoamBlocker effectively reduces frothing, ensuring consistent and reproducible results across a wide range of sample types.
