Pink Bead Lysis Kits

Best for Small, Soft Samples

Pink bead lysis kits are tubes pre-filled with a mix of zirconium oxide beads selected for high yields and efficient homogenization of your smaller soft samples (like spleen, brain or liver). Ideal for homogenizing samples in lower buffer volumes, these kits provide convenience, quality and repeatability that is difficult to duplicate with manual dispensing of beads into tubes.

Available DNase/RNase-free or non-sterile, in packs of 50 or 250 (1.5 mL snap-cap or screw-cap tubes), or packs of 20 or 100 (5 mL snap-cap tubes).

1.5 mL RINO® Pink Kits

Screw-cap RINO tubes are strong, durable, and contain a rubber “O-ring” in the cap to provide an extra layer of protection against sample loss. These 1.5 mL kits can be used in the Bullet Blender® 24 Gold+ (BB24AUP), Bullet Blender Storm Pro (BT24M), Bullet Blender Lite (BT12LT) and former 1.5 mL tube models (including previous Storm and Gold models) equipped with a screw-cap contact plate.

1.5 mL screw-cap kits can also be used in Bullet Blender 5E Pro (BT5E) and Bullet Blender 5E Gold+ (BB5EAUP) with the appropriate tube adapter.

1.5 mL Snap-cap Pink Kits
