This Stainless Steel Lysing Matrix Tube Is For Samples That Are Difficult To Grind With Standard Lysing Matrix Tubes. Some Samples Require A Grinding Protocol That Damage The Plastic Tube Before The Sample Is Fully Ground.
These Tubes Are Machined From 308 Stainless Steel Stock, Which Provides Much Greater Strength Than Conventional Aluminum Tubes, And Allows For Unlimited Use. The Stainless Steel Cap Has An Embedded O-Ring Which Assures That There Will Be No Leakage During Use. The Tube And Cap Can Be Cleaned And Used As Often As Desired.
Stainless Steel Tubes Are Ideal For Dry And Wet Grinding, Homogenization And Lysis Of Most Difficult Samples Such as Dried Seeds Such As: Dried Corn, Soybeans, Wheat, Tomato, Wood; And Other Plant Tissues Of Similar Consistency Such As: Bark and Roots; Biomineralized Animal Samples such as: Claws And Hooves, Bone, Teeth, Hair; Highly Collagenized Samples Such As: Cartilage, Skin, Tough Connective Tissue; And For Processing of Inorganic Samples Such As: Rocks, Sediments and Minerals, Plastics and Composites Industrial Waste Such as: Printed Circuit Boards And Building Materials.
