- Metal Bead Tubes, 2.38 mm (2 ml) - 13117-50
- Made with the strongest tubes available on the market, these metal beads are particularly effective in grinding difficult tissue samples. Some examples of starting material used with these beads are hair, nail, bone, seeds, corn, nuts, rice, wheat, lung, muscle, brain, and liver.
- Ceramic Bead Tubes, 1.4 mm (2 ml)- 13113-50
- These small ceramic beads are perfect for low buffer and sample volumes. They have been used to homogenize brain, liver, kidney, and gonad tissue.
- Ceramic Bead Tubes, 2.8 mm (2 ml)- 13114-50
- Made with the strongest tubes available on the market, these larger ceramic beads have been specifically designed to homogenize a variety of human, animal, and plant tissues as well as several micro-organisms. Recommended sample types include lung, muscle, heart, bone, rice, wheat, leaves, bacteria, and spores.
- Glass Bead Tubes, 0.5 mm (2 ml)- 13116-50; and Glass Bead Tubes 0.1 mm (2ml)- 13118-50
- These glass beads are best suited for breaking open micro-organisms such as bacteria, fungi, yeast, and spores.
- Carbide Bead Tubes, 0.25 mm* (0.5 ml) -13121-50
- Highly effective when isolating microbial RNA or soil RNA.
- Garnet Bead Tubes, 0.15 mm* (0.5 ml) - 13122-50; and Garnet Bead Tubes, 0.70 mm* (2 ml) - 13123-50
- Work faster than other beads due to the fact that articles have sharp cutting edges
- Sharp particles: Give optimal results with just a vortex
- Inert Mineral particles: Do not bind with nucleic acid (vs. glass beads)
Please note that bulk sizes are beads only. Appropriate tubes and caps need to be purchased separately and filled by the user.
