Product Description
Small, dense beads are the key to cracking open rigid microbial cell walls. These Zymo Research prefilled tubes combine two fine bead sizes to lyse tough bacteria, yeast, fungi and algae efficiently, ahead of DNA or RNA extraction. Consistent prefilled loading helps make results reproducible from tube to tube.
This listing is for catalog number S6012-50: ZR BashingBead Lysis Tubes (0.1 & 0.5 mm), 50 Pack. Each impact-resistant 2 ml tube contains 0.6 ml dry volume of a mixed 0.5 mm and 0.1 mm ZR BashingBead lysis matrix. The ultra-high density beads are fracture resistant and chemically inert, so they hold up to intense bead beating and stay compatible with lysis chemistries. Sold in packs of 50. LIGHT LABS ships genuine Zymo Research products with knowledgeable support from our Englewood, Colorado team.
