Break up (lyse) samples in order to release the DNA, RNA and proteins contained within cells
Can be used with any bead homogenizer.
All beads are acid washed and heat treated to remove nucleases and proteases
While glass (silica), zirconium and stainless steel beads are all effective at disrupting cells and tissues. The added density of zirconium and stainless steel beads helps yield better homogenized samples
Triple-Pure Zirconium Beads: Undergo acid washing and heat treatment during handling and filling to ensure the elimination of DNase, RNase, protease, and nucleic acids - When samples are used for molecular biology applications, the high purity of Triple-Pure beads is preferred
Zirconium Starter Kit: Includes 10 each of: 0.1. 0.5, 1.0, 1.5 and 3.0 mm
