This stainless steel lysing matrix tube with the grinding ball is ideal for grinding, lysis, and homogenization of resistant samples. Constructed from 308 SS, these tubes and grinding balls are tough enough to stand up to the most demanding mechanical punishment that can cause traditional thermoplastic tubes to crack. The tubes are machined from premium grade billet and deliver superior strength over less expensive production methods such as deep-drawn aluminum tubes. An oblique angle conical bottom provides a better impact surface than the rounded bottoms of deep-drawn tubes. The stainless steel threaded cap provides a leak-proof closure without energy-robbing alternatives like plastic flange screw caps or rubber stoppers. A Teflon O-ring prevents leakage, and can be cleaned with detergent and/or autoclaving, or replaced entirely between samples. Machined knurls on the cap provide a firm grip to easy opening and closing.
Sample types include:
- Tough seeds such as dried corn, soybeans, wheat, tomato, and chili
- Wood, bark, roots, animal claws, and hooves
- Bone, teeth, hair, fingernails, and non-biological substrates
- Tough tissues, bone, cartilage, skin
- Non-biological, rocks and minerals, plastics and composites, printed circuit boards, wood, and building materials
