Packaged in 15 mL \"TeenPrep\" tubes, this matrix easily accommodates large sample masses up to 2 grams and higher lysis buffer volumes. Each tube is pre-filled with a highly abrasive garnet matrix and a single, heavy-duty 1\/4-inch ceramic (zirconium oxide) sphere. This unique combination delivers a dual-action lysis mechanism: the heavy ceramic sphere provides immense concussive impaction to crack open rigid structures like bone or dense seeds, while the sharp garnet shards simultaneously shear tough fibrous tissues and cell walls. Designed to endure the extreme multidirectional velocity of high-speed bead beaters, the 15 mL Matrix A guarantees thorough disruption for maximum nucleic acid and protein recovery from bulk tissues.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Performance and Design\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\u003cp style=\"margin: 0;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eDual-Action Lysis:\u003c\/b\u003e The combination of blunt-force impaction (from the 1\/4\" ceramic sphere) and aggressive mechanical shearing (from the sharp-edged garnet sand) easily obliterates massive samples that cause standard uniform beads to fail.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\u003cp style=\"margin: 0;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e15 mL TeenPrep Format:\u003c\/b\u003e Drastically increases throughput by providing the necessary volume to process whole organs, large tissue biopsies, or bulk plant material in a single tube without stalling the grinding process.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\u003cp style=\"margin: 0;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eImpact-Resistant Construction:\u003c\/b\u003e The heavy-duty plastic tubes and secure screw caps are specifically engineered to endure the massive kinetic energy generated by the large ceramic sphere without cracking, leaking, or shedding plastic into the sample.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\u003cp style=\"margin: 0;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eCertified Purity:\u003c\/b\u003e Pre-filled and packaged under strict cleanroom conditions, ensuring the matrix is completely free of DNase, RNase, proteases, and exogenous nucleic acids prior to use.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eProduct Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\u003cp style=\"margin: 0;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eCatalog Number:\u003c\/b\u003e 116930025 (Often listed as 6930025)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\u003cp style=\"margin: 0;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eMatrix Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Matrix A (Garnet Matrix + One 1\/4-inch Ceramic Sphere)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\u003cp style=\"margin: 0;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eTube Size:\u003c\/b\u003e 15 mL (TeenPrep format with screw cap)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\u003cp style=\"margin: 0;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eTarget Samples:\u003c\/b\u003e Bone, cartilage, skin, muscle, tough seeds, roots, insects, and large environmental samples.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\u003cp style=\"margin: 0;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eQuantity:\u003c\/b\u003e 25 Tubes per pack\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Benefits \u0026amp; Applications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\u003cp style=\"margin: 0;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eTough Tissue Breakdown:\u003c\/b\u003e The premier choice for forensics, agriculture, and oncology researchers working with dense, calcified, or highly fibrous matrices that resist chemical lysis or traditional sonication.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\u003cp style=\"margin: 0;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eAerosol Containment:\u003c\/b\u003e The single-use, closed-tube design completely eliminates the hazardous aerosolization and cross-contamination risks associated with open-air rotor-stator homogenizers (e.g., Polytrons).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\u003cp style=\"margin: 0;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eRapid Bulk Processing:\u003c\/b\u003e Quickly reduces complex, large-scale tissue networks to a uniform homogenate, minimizing the time samples are exposed to endogenous nucleases and degradative heat.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\u003cp style=\"margin: 0;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eInstrument Compatibility:\u003c\/b\u003e Designed perfectly for the MP Biomedicals FastPrep-24 and FastPrep-96 systems when equipped with the 15 mL TeenPrep adapters, as well as other high-power bead mills that accept 15 mL conical tubes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0; font-size: 0.8em;\"\u003e\u003ci\u003eAll product names, logos, and brands are property of their respective owners.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MP Biomedicals","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44498279104764,"sku":"4648","price":135.85,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8463\/5132\/files\/mp-biomedicals-lysing-matrix-a-15-ml-pack-of-25-tubes-other-medical-lab-equipment-mp-biomedicals-135384.jpg?v=1760145150","url":"https:\/\/lifesciencestrading.com\/products\/mp-biomedicals-lysing-matrix-a-15-ml","provider":"Life Sciences Trading","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
