Useful for disrupting bacteria by bead beating or as an additive during sonication, 100 µm Acid Washed Silica Beads are a good choice for standard laboratory applications. Silica beads are more economical than zirconium silicates and oxides, while often equally effective.
Acid washed Silica Beads are ready-to-use, having been treated with acidified water to remove fine particles, dust, and other impurities typically found in untreated beads, and further baked to drive off organic impurities.
