Bead Kits for the Precellys® and Minilys Homogenizers

Bead Kits for the Precellys® and Minilys are designed to accommodate a wide variety of sample types.  Bead kits are DNase and RNase free.

There are four sizes of kits:

	Accommodate Sample Size
Kit Tube	Solid/tissue	Liquid/culture
0.5 mL	1 mg - 30 mg	5 µL to 200 µL
2 mL	30 mg - 1 g	200 µL to 1.6 mL
7 mL	30 mg - 3 g	200 µL to 6mL
15 mL	100 mg - 5 g	500 µL to 10 mL

 Please note:  The standard Precellys24 only accepts 0.5 ml or 2 ml bead kits. The Minilys and Precellys24-Dual accept 0.5 ml, 2 ml, and 7 ml bead kits. The Precellys Evolution accepts all sizes of bead kits. 

There are also three types of kits for three different kinds of applications:

• Homogenizing Kits are designed for the homogenization of animal and plant tissue
• Grinding Kits are designed to break down samples into small particles
• Lysis Kits are designed to lyse cells or microorganisms in culture.
  **R- designated 2 ml kits include reinforced tubes with o-rings.
