0.1 mm Silica, 1.4 mm Zirconium & 4 mm Silica Beads, 50pk

Bead beating is quickly becoming the preferred process used to break up (lyse) samples in order to release the DNA, RNA and proteins contained within cells. Samples are placed in tubes with the appropriate grinding beads and subjected to high energy mixing. The beads impact the sample, eventually breaking it down on the cellular level releasing subcellular contents. The beads come in prefilled unskirted tubes.

All beads are acid washed and processed to remove nucleases and proteases. The Triple-Pure bead tubes undergo special handling during filling and are quality tested to ensure the elimination of DNase, RNase, protease, and nucleic acids.

Glass (Silica) Beads are acid washed and processed to remove nucleases and proteases. Glass beads are ideal for homogenizing microbial applications such as algae, bacteria, fungi, mold, spores, and yeast. Zirconium Beads are quality tested to ensure the elimination of DNase, RNase, protease, and nucleic acids. The Triple-Pure™ zirconium beads are ideal for molecular biology applications.
