Product Description
Ticks, fleas and mosquitoes require breaking through both the host body and the microbes inside. These Zymo Research prefilled tubes mix large and fine beads to homogenize vectors and tissues thoroughly, helping release pathogen nucleic acids for detection. They are a natural fit for vector surveillance programs that process many field specimens.
This listing is for catalog number S6014-50: ZR BashingBead Lysis Tubes (0.1 & 2.0 mm), 50 Pack. Each impact-resistant 2 ml tube contains 0.7 ml dry volume of mixed 0.1 mm and 2.0 mm BashingBeads. The large beads disrupt tissue and exoskeleton while the fine beads lyse microbial cells. The ultra-high density beads are fracture resistant and chemically inert. These tubes are used in the Quick-DNA/RNA Pathogen Miniprep kit (Cat. R1042). Packs of 50. Order it from LIGHT LABS and keep your workflow moving.
