DNA/RNA Shield Lysis and Collection tubes are microbial lysis tubes and bead beating tubes designed for the streamlined collection, transport, and processing of biological specimen. The microbial lysis tubes and bead beating tubes are pre-filled with DNA/RNA Shield and a lysis matrix tailored for tough-to-lyse- sample inputs from tissue to microbial samples. Collected samples do not require additional handling for processing and are ready for homogenization.
