Tubes are ready to use - beads are alcohol washed and heat-treated to remove contaminants and render them nuclease and protease-free. Suitable for homogenization of tough, hard samples, muscle, plant materials, seeds, and dried samples. Supplied in packs of 50 tubes. Tubes are suitable for use in most bead homogenizers including the BeadBug 3, BeadBug 6, and BeadBlaster 24. Beads are also available in loose bulk (D1133-28).
