Pre-Filled Tubes Product Line

1.0 mm Zirconium Beads Pre-Filled Tubes are great for disrupting soil, thin tissues, and leaves in a fast and effective way.

1.4 mm Acid Washed Zirconium Beads (Zirconium Silicate) are suitable for homogenizing small animal (e.g., mouse) tissue samples and biomass.

1.7 mm Acid Washed Zirconium Beads are suitable for homogenizing larger tissue samples, fungi pellicles, and fine plant material.

Mixed Matrix disruption tubes can be effective lysing microorganisms and environmental samples (e.g., soil). 

Mixed Matrix Silica/Zirconium Disruption Tubes offer chemically-inert, acid washed, mixed grinding media to disrupt a range of organisms and particles present within a sample.  

100 µm Silica Beads are small, yet dense enough to disrupt most bacterial cells.

100 µm Acid Washed Zirconium Beads are suitable for homogenizing bacteria and small tissues.

100 µm Acid Washed Zirconium Beads (Zirconium Silicate) are suitable for homogenizing bacteria and small tissues.

2.8 mm Stainless Steel Grinding Balls may be used  to lyse a wide variety of samples, including soft animal tissues (liver, brain), fibrous animal tissues (muscle, heart, lung), plant leaf and stem samples, and fungal thalli (e.g., mushrooms).   

200 µm Zirconium Beads are suitable for disrupting bacteria and small yeasts (e.g. Pichia)

3.0 mm Acid Washed Zirconium Beads are are chemically-resistant to organics and suitable for homogenizing larger tissue and plant leaf samples.

400 µm Silica Beads are ideal for disrupting yeast (e.g., Saccharomyces). 

400 µm Zirconium Beads (Zirconium Silicate) are suitable for disrupting bacteria and yeast.  

Mixed Matrix Garnet/Satellite Disruption Tubes offer chemically-inert, acid washed, mixed grinding media to disrupt a range of organisms and particles present within a sample.
