Product Description

What Bead Lysis Kit is right for my research?

Here are some recommendations and guidelines to keep in mind when selecting a Bead Lysis Kit to use.

The main things to consider are your desired buffer volume and the toughness of your sample. Pink and Red kits are best for soft samples, Green and Navy for tougher material, and Yellow kits are used to lyse bacteria. Pink and Green kits are appropriate for buffer volumes up to 200 μL; Red, Navy and Yellow kits can be used for volumes between 200 and 500 μL.

Note that Bead Lysis Kits are not appropriate for all samples. For special applications such as extracting live bacteria from tissue, grinding dry agricultural samples, or tissue dissociation, we recommend bulk beads.
