Bead Beating Performance

Bead Beating is a process used to break down samples into their sub cellular  components to be studied. This technique usually is associated with the study of DNA, RNA, or proteomics. The importance of the tubes during this come with the understanding that this is a high energy process, and the beads will not only impact the samples, but the tubes as well.

This tech note discusses why using Micronic tubes are essential for this method, opposed to other brands.
