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
