Stainless steel grinding balls for homogenizing in 96 well plates and vials

Grinding balls and satellites are used with deep well plates, vial sets, and individual microfuge tubes to bead beat plant tissues, seeds, and animal tissues. Grinding balls are made of zirconium oxide for use with phenol or 440C stainless steel which allows them to be retrieved with a magnet while making them resistant to tarnishing. Grinding balls are treated to remove residual oils and contaminants prior to packaging. Grinding satellites are made from zirconium oxide and are more irregular in shape which is useful for processing harder to grind samples.

Recommended Applications:

6 mm	Use with deep well plates and 2 ml microcentrifuge tubes.
5/32"	Use with deep well plates for leaf punches or animal tissue of 50 mg or less.
3/8"	Good for homogenizing seeds and larger samples of animal tissue in polycarbonate vials.
7/16"	Suitable for larger grinding jobs, such as pooled seeds, in 15 ml vials.
