If you need to crack open cells or tear apart tissues, the tools can be found at OPS Diagnostics.  A simple and well established method for disrupting samples is by bead beating which uses grinding balls and a shaking homogenizer, or mixer mill, to smash, rip, and tear samples.  Bead beating can be done in microfuge tubes to disrupt bacteria or in larger vessels to homogenize full organs.

The key tools needed for bead beating are as follows:

Grinding Balls	Grinding Balls, 5/32" Stainless Steel (5000) Grinding Balls, 3/8", Stainless Steel (1000) Grinding Balls, 7/16", Stainless Steel (1000)
