Pestles & Tubes (100 Pestle & 100 Tubes)

A Grinding Resin For Proteomics & Molecular Biology Applications Molecular Grinding Resin™ has been specifically developed for effectively grinding small biological samples for the preparation and extraction of DNA, RNA and proteins. The resin consists of high tensile micro-particles, which effectively disrupt nuclei and other cell organelles. Molecular Grinding Resin™ does not bind proteins or nucleic acids, minimizing loss. Unlike sand or other grinding materials, Molecular Grinding Resin™ is easy to work with and does not damage genomic DNA or high molecular mass proteins. Simply mix the biological sample with Molecular Grinding Resin™ and grind or homogenize the sample. Molecular Grinding Resin™ is routinely used for isolation of 100kb genomic DNA and RNA. It can be used with any homogenization technique, including high speed mechanical grinders and high-energy sonicators. For added convenience, Molecular Grinding Resin™ is also available with RNase-free disposable matching pestles and 1.5mL microfuge tubes (Cat. No. 786-138PR). Supplied with enough resin for 200 isolations from 100mg tissue.
