FastPrep-24™ 5G Instrument
The FastPrep-24™ 5G homogenizer is the most advanced lysis, homogenization and grinding system applicable for genomics, proteomics, or other chemical studies and analyses.
FastPrep® lysis beads and matrix tubes for sample disruption
FastPrep® lysing beads and matrices make difficult-to-lyse samples easy. No matter how tough or resistant your samples are MP Biomedicals bead beating tubes will effectively disrupt cell walls, providing the highest yields of nucleic acids and proteins in a matter of seconds. Sample lysis tubes from MP Biomedicals are highly reproducible with no cross-contamination. All lysing matrix tubes are standard sizes and fit just about any homogenizer on the market. We offer a wide variety of lysing beads and matrices to fit all sample types and applications. But remember, it’s not the tubes that are important – It’s What’s Inside That Counts!
FastPrep® sample tubes range from low to high impaction breaking down any sample type whether the cell walls are hard and brittle or soft. Sample types include but are not limited to: human and animal and plant tissues; microorganisms like bacterial, yeast and fungi; plant, soil, fecal, plus insects and worms.
Impact-resistant lysis tubes with beads are available in 2 mL, 4.5 mL, 15 mL, 50 mL and 96-well format sizes and contain a wide variety of materials to meet your lysing, grinding, and homogenization needs. All matrix particles are produced to the highest quality standards to ensure optimum performance. The lysing matrix particles are then dispensed into the lysing matrix tubes under a rigorous set of proprietary conditions allowing complete confidence for immediate use.
For optimal performance and results we recommend using in conjunction with MP Biomedicals FastPrep-24™ 5G homogenizer and FastPrep® extraction kits. Using this combination to easily grind, lyse and homogenize any sample type in seconds. Not only is it fast and efficient but can be dependable time over time.
FastPrep® lysing matrix tubes are very versatile, consisting of 16 unique sample tubes that fit any sample type! Whatever your sample, we have the solution. MP Biomedicals matrices contain properties that contribute to optimum success in your protocols. Various properties of a lysing matrix particle, whether inherent or selected, can yield a myriad of end-products depending on the dynamic qualities instilled in that particle by said properties. The inherent properties include the hardness, composition, and density, while the selected properties include the shape and the size.
