The D1032-60 is the specialty single-bead variant in the D1032 zirconium family — single 6 mm ceria-based zirconium oxide satellite bead per tube, 50 tubes per pack. "Satellite" design + ceria-stabilized zirconium delivers very high-impact disruption for toughest sample workflows.
Key Specifications
| SKU | D1032-60 |

Why a Single Large Bead
Multi-bead tubes (D1031/D1032 standard) provide many impact points per cycle — better for smaller cells. Single large beads provide maximum kinetic energy per impact — better for very tough samples that require concentrated impact force rather than many smaller impacts.
Pick the D1032-60 when:
- Sample is toughest cell wall / dense tissue that smaller multi-bead tubes can't disrupt effectively
- Maximum kinetic energy per impact required
