Bullet Blender Beads

Bullet Blender Bead Overview

Beads are the components that strike and grind your samples resulting in tissue homogenization and cell lysis. A variety of beads are provided suitable for a wide array of samples. The general rule of thumb is to choose larger, denser beads for tougher samples. RNase free beads are available for RNA extractions and Sample Bead Packs are available for different types of samples. For more information about how to select the proper bead for your application, please see Bead Use and Selection.
