Worth knowing before you order

Decide the tube format before you order, because the holder is the machine. The 5 mL x 12 and 2 mL x 24 holders are the two named configurations, a 2 mL x 48 holder is illustrated on the facing page but not specified, and nothing on the page says how many holders are included — get that in writing on the quotation. Only stainless steel grinding balls, 3 mm and 5 mm, are supplied; hard plant material, bone and spores usually want zirconia or glass beads, and beads and tubes alike are per-run consumables. There is no cooling: several minutes of beating warms the tubes noticeably, so for RNA and labile enzymes chill the holder between cycles and run short bursts rather than one long one.
