Benchmark* Prefilled Tube Kits

A variety of prefilled 2.0 mL tubes are available for homogenizing samples including glass, ceramic, or stainless steel. All bead types are acid washed and processed to remove nucleases and proteases. 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. Compatible with all common bead homogenizers.
