Used primarily for lysis of gram positive and gram negative bacteria, fungal tissue and spores, yeasts, molds, filamentous algaes and biofilms.

• Impact-resistant tube
• Yttria-Stabilized Zirconium oxide beads have a high density and extremely high hardness
• Ideal for cracking very tough cell walls
• Smooth surface minimizes shearing

Lysing Matrices are critical components of the FastPrep™ Sample Preparation system. MP Biomedicals recieves the matrix particles from proven vendors and ensures the unprocessed material meets high qualitative standards. Matrix particles are then prepared and dispensed under a rigorous set of proprietary conditions that offer customers a premium product that can be immediately used with confidence. Matrices are available separately for use with your own unique buffers, and are also available as components of the complete purification kits.

Application: Extractions of nucleic acids, proteins, metabolites and other small molecules from organisms with very tough cell walls. Lysis of gram positive and gram negative bacteria, fungal tissue and spor es, yeasts, molds, filamentous algae and biofilms. RNA extraction from difficult samples where lysis by impaction only is preferable with minimal amounts of mechanical shearing.
