Lysing Matrix Z, Bulk

2.0 mm spherical, Yttria-stabilized Zirconium Oxide grinding beads that are chemically inert and will not bind nucleic acids. This is a component of Lysing Matrix Z Tubes. Lysing Matrix Z is used primarily for lysis of animal and plant tissue, tougher stems, roots and seeds, and whole insects. Matrix Z is an alternative to the very aggressive Matrix A because its lower shear rate minimizes degradation in applications such as RNA and Protein isolation from very tough tissue.
