1. What is Lysing Matrix D used for?
Lysing Matrix D is a prefilled ceramic bead matrix for mechanical homogenization and lysis of softer biological samples, especially animal tissues, plant tissues, and cultured cells. It is used during sample preparation ahead of downstream analytical workflows.
2. What beads are in Lysing Matrix D?
Each 2 mL Lysing Matrix D tube contains approximately 1.4 mm zirconium-silicate ceramic spheres. The tubes are identified by green caps.
3. Which sample types are suitable for Lysing Matrix D?
MP Biomedicals lists softer tissues, including brain, liver, kidney, lung, and spleen, as well as leaves, roots, fruits, cultured cells, and whole insects among its applications. Processing settings depend on the sample type and downstream method.
4. Is Lysing Matrix D compatible with FastPrep-24 5G and FastPrep-96 Pro?
Yes. The 2 mL tube format is supported by compatible FastPrep adapters. Use a suitable QuickPrep-style 2 mL adapter on FastPrep-24 systems or a Metal QuickFlex 2 mL adapter on FastPrep-96 Pro. Check the current instrument compatibility chart before use.
5. Does Lysing Matrix D extract DNA or RNA by itself?
No. Lysing Matrix D performs mechanical sample disruption. DNA or RNA isolation requires appropriate buffers, extraction or purification reagents, and a validated protocol.
6. What is the difference between Lysing Matrix D and Lysing Matrix E?
Lysing Matrix D contains zirconium-silicate ceramic spheres and is commonly used for softer animal or plant tissues. Lysing Matrix E contains a combination of ceramic and silica spheres plus a glass bead and is commonly selected for challenging environmental matrices such as soil or feces.
7. What pack size corresponds to Catalog #6913050?
Catalog #6913050 corresponds to 50 prefilled 2 mL Lysing Matrix D tubes (full SKU 116913050). Other pack sizes are available. Verify the selected option on the regional product page.
8. Can Lysing Matrix D be used for plant tissue RNA workflows?
Lysing Matrix D is suitable for mechanical disruption of certain plant tissues and may be used in RNA extraction workflows when combined with appropriate extraction reagents and validated protocols. RNA yield and integrity depend on sample handling, extraction chemistry, and protocol conditions.
