MP Biomedicals™ Lysing Matrix F, Bulk

Description

• Lysing Matrix F is composed of 1.6 mm aluminum oxide particles and 1.6 mm silicon carbide particles
• Matrix F tubes have white caps
• Silicon carbide has relatively low density and high strength and hardness, and therefore is effective at breaking tough, hard, or brittle cell membranes
• This is useful in applications such as isolation of intact organelles, and super-molecular structures where lysis conditions necessitate high impaction but low shearing
• Matrix F is effective for applications such as RNA and protein isolation for samples in which Matrix A is too agressive
• The irregular, angular shape of the Al2O3 and SiC crystals give lower shearing than the sharp edges of the garnet matrix.
