Navy Lysis Kit

Extra power for your tough samples. Navy Bead Lysis Kits are filled with a custom mix of stainless-steel beads for buffer volumes between 300 uL and 600 uL. They're great for samples that are too large for a Green Kit and deliver extra homogenizing power for challenging samples like bone, tumors, and hard-shelled insects such as ticks. RINO Safe-lock tube bead lysis kits are made of high-quality polypropylene and are easy to open and close. These tubes can be used in any current microcentrifuge model Bullet Blender®.

Kits are available in RNase-free or non-sterile versions.

*All colors of GATOR Kits are shipped with red silicone plugs.

Custom kits: Made to your specifications. Need a precise mixture of beads to match your SOP or homogenize an unusual sample? We offer Custom kits.

Stainless Steel Beads 

Stainless steel beads are ideal for homogenizing biological samples. Due to their high density, they are suitable for homogenizing tough and soft samples or for special applications such as bacterial isolation. This blend of beads has diameters from 0.9 mm to 11 mm. Stainless Steel UFO Beads are also available!

RNase-free stainless steel beads undergo a special cleaning process. They are guaranteed and certified to be RNase-free. RNase-free stainless steel beads are sold by the 4 mL package.   
 

Stainless Steel UFO Beads

Stainless steel beads can be used for homogenization of touch samples or for special applications such as bacterial isolation. Cone beads (UFO beads) have a special shape that is great for cutting through particularly fibrous or resilient material.

Cone beads are available in 3.5 mm and 5.6 mm diameters in either bulk packaging (50 mL tubes) or in an RNase-free option (10 mL pack size). These beads are for use only in 5 mL and 50 mL tubes within the appropriate Bullet Blender homogenizer.
 

Glass Beads

Glass beads are ideal for the homogenization of biological samples. Due to the low density of the material, it is suitable for the homogenization of soft tissues and easy-to-lyse cell suspensions. Perfect for research that demands precision and reliability.

RNase-free glass beads undergo a special cleaning process. They are guaranteed and certified to be RNase-free.

Zirconium Oxide Beads

Zirconium oxide beads are ideal for the homogenization of biological samples. Due to the lower density of the material, it is suitable for the homogenization of softer samples, such as brain or kidney tissue. Autoclavable in dry cycle.

RNase-free zirconium oxide beads undergo a special cleaning process. They are guaranteed and certified to be RNase-free.
