Lysing Matrix I is used for breaking very tough and hard samples, including organisms within a tough or dense exterior matrix.
- Impact-resistant tube
- High density, tensile strength and hardness
- High impaction but low shearing
Lysing Matrix I useful in applications such as isolation of intact organelles, and super-molecular structures where lysis conditions necessitate high impaction but low shearing. The 4 mm ceramic sphere provides very high inertia for lysis by impaction of tough chitin/protein composites that comprise the exoskeleton of arthropods and crustaceans. Matrix I can also be used for dry grinding fungal spores to isolate RNA and Proteins.
Lysing Matrices are critical components of the FastPrep™ Sample Preparation system. MP Biomedicals recieves the matrix particles from proven vendors and ensures the unprocessed material meets high qualitative standards. Matrix particles are then prepared and dispensed under a rigorous set of proprietary conditions that offer customers a premium product that can be immediately used with confidence.Matrices are available separately for use with your own unique buffers, and are also available as components of the complete purification kits.
