Description
The MidiPrep Metal Adapter holds 18 x 5 mL Lysing Matrix Tubes. This is the strongest FastPrep adapter, intended for the most difficult and long-lasting lysis applications. This all-metal adapter can resist high temperatures up to 450 °C and can be sterilized by pyrolysis. Furthermore, the specially designed claws prevent tubes from auto-rotation during lysis, thus allowing continuous tracking of tube labels and/or bar codes. The major use of this adapter is for lysing highly contagious samples and samples suspected of harboring prions. Due to its ability for high-temperature sterilization, this adapter is the safest solution for CNS tissue lysis and other applications where prions or other disease-causing agents may be present.
