Double decker adapter that holds 48 x 2 mL Lysing Matrix tubes. The ergonomic design of the adapter ensures easy loading of Lysing Matrix tubes that remain securely sealed during the homogenization. It stands stable on the bench top and is commonly used as a tube rack. Ideally suited for high-throughput applications, up 48 samples can be homogenized simultaneously. Additionally, frozen samples in Lysing Matrix tubes loaded in the adapters and stored at -20 °C or -80 °C are ready to be immediately processed with minimal hands-on manipulation, preventing degradation of cellular components by endogenous enzymes.
