Glass, zirconium, and stainless steel homogenizer beads, available in a variety of sizes, are efficient and quick at breaking down a wide range of samples in order to release the DNA, RNA, and proteins contained within cells. The beads come in prefilled unskirted tubes or in bulk, and are compatible with all popular bead homogenizers.

Glass (Silica) Beads are acid washed and processed to remove nucleases and proteases. The beads are available in three sizes (0.1, 0.5, and 1.0 mm), ideal for homogenizing microbial applications such as algae, bacteria, fungi, mold, spores, and yeast.
