Fibrous and larger samples can be effectively homogenized using grinding balls.  OPS Diagnostics’ 3/8" Stainless Steel Grinding Balls are used with 4 ml and 15 ml polycarbonate vials to bead beat larger samples such as soft animal tissues (liver and brain), hard tissues (bone, hair, fish scale, and nail), and cryogenically, fibrous tissues (skin, connective tissue, and roots).  In larger vials, leaf and seed samples of grains, such as oats, rice and corn, can also be homogenized by bead beating with an appropriate grinding vial.  The balls have also been used to homogenize roots, such as for the detection of Fusarium.

OPS Diagnostics’ 3/8" Stainless Steel Grinding Balls are made of 440C stainless steel, allowing them to be retrieved with a magnet while making them resistant to tarnishing. All grinding balls are treated to remove residual oils and contaminants prior to packaging and are ready-to-use.
