Product Description
Skip the tedious step of weighing out grinding media and go straight to consistent, repeatable sample disruption. These ready-to-use 2 mL lysing bead tubes come pre-filled with molecular biology-grade beads matched to common sample types, from bacteria and yeast to plant material, animal tissue and environmental samples. Color-coded caps make it easy to pick the right tube at a glance on a busy bench.
This listing is for OHAUS item number 30391433: Lysing Bead Tube Sample Kit, 14 Assorted 2 mL Tubes with Various Grinding Media. Each self-standing skirted tube is molded from polyethylene and loaded with zirconium oxide or stainless steel beads in a defined size for its target sample. The tubes are designed for use in high-throughput bead-beating homogenizers such as the OHAUS HT Lysing Homogenizer and in oscillating and vortex-style homogenizers. Standard packs contain 100 tubes per box, and a 14-tube sample kit lets you trial several bead types before committing to a full box. Add it to your LIGHT LABS order and keep your lab running with genuine OHAUS equipment.
