Precellys lysing kits with tissue-matched bead types for bead-mill homogenisation
Precellys lysing kits are prefilled bead tubes for mechanical homogenisation with Precellys instruments. Choose the kit according to your sample type first, then select the tube format that matches your sample amount and homogeniser.

Choose the tube format
Use the Format filter to narrow the product list by sample amount. As a general guide, 0.5 mL tubes suit small samples, 2 mL tubes cover routine sample amounts of approximately 20–200 mg, and 7 mL or 15 mL formats accommodate larger samples. Selected kits are also available in 96-well format for parallel processing.
Check instrument compatibility before ordering: for example, the Precellys 24 Touch uses 0.5 mL and 2 mL tubes, while larger formats require a compatible Precellys configuration.
