Grinding Media

Acid Washed Zirconium Grinding Beads

This high-density bead has enormous grinding energy; resulting in reduced grinding times. Beads have been acid washed to remove contaminants.
Application: Suitable for yeast and bacterial spores.

Molecular Biology Grade Zirconium Grinding Beads

Treated to be DNase/RNase-free, these beads are useful for the preparation of samples for molecular biology applications.
Application: Preparation of cells for Real Time PCR.

Low Protein Binding Zirconium Grinding Beads

High impact, low binding beads with low concentrations of protein.
Application: Protein analysis of yeasts and bacteria.

Acid Washed Silica/Glass Beads

Useful for standard applications.
Application: Good for disrupting molds and yeast.

Molecular Biology Grade Silica/Glass Beads

Treated to be DNase/RNase-free, these beads are useful for preparing samples for molecular analysis.
Application: Molecular applications for disrupting molds and yeast.

Low Protein Binding Silica/Glass Beads

These treated beads are low protein binding and useful for homogenizing samples for protein analysis.
Application: Disruption of molds/yeasts for high protein recovery.

Acid Washed Silica/Glass Beads

Acid Washed Silica/Glass Beads Excellent impact energy due to their larger size.
Application: Good general grinding media for fungi and spores.

Molecular Biology Grade Silica/Glass Beads

Beads are DNase/RNase-free treated and useful for the preparation of samples for molecular applications and analysis.
Application: Useful for disrupting fungi and spores.

Low Protein Binding Silica/Glass Beads

Beads adsorb less protein than standard beads and are useful when high protein recovery is necessary.
Application: Best choice for preparation of filamentous fungi, spores or pollen that require high protein recovery.
