Low Binding grinding beads are treated with a proprietary process that alters the surface of the bead which results in less non-specific binding to its surface (see application note). Low Binding beads consistently provide better protein and nucleic acid yields. When used to prepare bacteria for quantitative PCR, improved yields lead greater range and linearity. Low Binding beads are available in both silica (soda lime) and zirconium oxide in five sizes. Silica beads are suitable for general grinding applications while zirconium beads have greater density and thus high impact power. Recommend size applications: 100 µm - Bacteria, sonication additive 200 µm - Bacteria, small yeasts (e.g., Pichia) 400 µm - Yeasts (Saccharomyces) 800 µm - Molds, pollen
