Lysing Matrix J is used for lysis of plant and animal tissues, bacteria, fungi, coral emulsions, fixed samples and dry fungal spores.
- Impact-resistant tube
- High density, tensile strength and hardness
- High impaction but low shearing
Lysing Matrix J is effective at breaking very tough and hard samples, including organisms within a tough or dense exterior matrix. This is useful in applications such as isolation of intact organelles, and super-molecular structures where lysis conditions necessitate high impaction but low shearing. The small size, and high hardness of the aluminum oxide component will also break bacterial spores or cysts inside infected tissue. The mixture of large and small diameter particles is also effective at "scrubbing" and lysing target cells that are fixed to a matrix such as tape-stripped skin cancer cells.
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.
