The Revvity Stainless Steel Cryo Grinding Tubes, 2 mL, 2 Pack (19-6001) provide a robust tube format for grinding extremely hard substrates and processing samples under cryogenic conditions. Each tube is manufactured from 316 stainless steel and uses a brass cap with a neoprene sealing gasket, while homogenisation is performed with a 6 x 12.5 mm stainless steel slug.
Key Features
- Robust 316 stainless steel construction, designed for extremely hard substrates and demanding grinding conditions
- Cryogenic processing capability, allowing the tubes to be frozen with liquid nitrogen to help preserve thermally labile analytes
- Stainless steel grinding slug, measuring 6 x 12.5 mm for mechanical disruption within the tube
- Secure brass cap assembly, fitted with a neoprene gasket to seal the tube during processing
- Flexible sample loading, accommodating sample volumes from 200 µL to 1.5 mL
- Compatible with two Bead Ruptor platforms, including the Bead Ruptor Elite and Omni Bead Ruptor 96
- Defined instrument operating limits, supporting up to eight tubes at 6 m/s in the Bead Ruptor Elite or 24 tubes at 30 Hz in the Omni Bead Ruptor 96
- Suitable for seed and heat-sensitive samples, supporting grinding at room temperature or under cold conditions
- Autoclavable tube format, suitable for cleaning with water or ethanol while avoiding prolonged contact with bleach
Note: These tubes are not compatible with the Bead Ruptor 4 or Bead Ruptor 12. For research use only. Not for use in diagnostic procedures.
Benefits
- Enables the disruption of hard substrates that may require a stronger tube format than conventional plastic grinding tubes.
- Helps limit sample heating when used with the Cryo Unit and liquid nitrogen for temperature-sensitive analytes.
- Supports both cold and room-temperature processing of seeds and other difficult sample types.
- Provides defined compatibility and operating limits for consistent setup on supported Bead Ruptor instruments.
- Allows thorough cleaning by autoclaving or washing with water or ethanol between laboratory workflows.
