5 mL RED Bead Lysis Kits

Ideal for larger soft samples

Red Bead Lysis Kits consist of microcentrifuge tubes that are pre-filled with a mix of zirconium oxide beads for larger samples of soft material like liver. These kits provide: convenience; high yields with the multiple sizes of beads; and volumetric consistency of beads difficult to duplicate with manual dispensing of beads into tubes. Available in packs of 50 or 250 (1.5 mL tubes), 20 or 100 (5 mL tubes), RNase-free or non-sterile.
