Lysing Matrix B

Lysing Matrix B consists of 0.1 mm silica spheres. Used primarily for lysis of gram (+/-) bacteria and will also disrupt Archea, oocytes, spores, fungal tissue.

Examples of bacteria Lysing Matrix B is recommended for: Escherichia coli., Lactococcus lactis, Listeria monocytogenes, Mycobacterium tuberculosis, Streptococcus mutans, Streptococcus pyogenes, Photorhabdus luminescens. Lysing Matrix B, is also known as The FastPROTEIN™ Blue Matrix, it is used with any FastPrep® Instrument to reproducibly lyse gram positive and gram negative bacterial cells within 40 seconds.
