Application Notes

Lysing Matrix H is effective at breaking very tough and hard samples, including organisms within a tough or dense exterior matrix. This is useful in applications such as isolation of intact organelles and super-molecular structures where lysis conditions necessitate high impaction but low shearing. The 2 mm glass beads are effective at breaking pathogenic yeast polysaccharide capsules and hyphae inside infected tissue. Matrix H can also be used to isolate RNA and Proteins from bacterial aggregates, biofilms and whole insects.
