The D1031-01 is the standard silica-bead prefilled tube consumable for the BeadBug 3 homogenizer, 50 prefilled 2.0 mL tubes per pack at $136 ($2.72 per tube). Tubes contain 0.1 mm silica (glass) beads, acid-washed, the small-bead format optimized for microbial / yeast / soft-tissue cell disruption (smaller beads provide more impact points per volume for smaller cells).
| SKU | D1031-01 |
| Type | Prefilled 2.0 mL bead tube |
| Bead material | Silica (glass): standard general-purpose bead material |
| Bead size | 0.1 mm (small-bead format for microbial / soft-tissue cells) |
| Bead treatment | Acid washed (residual contaminants removed from bead manufacturing) |
| Pack quantity | 50 prefilled tubes |
| Per-tube cost | $2.72 |
| Compatible chassis | D1030 (BeadBug 3) |
| List price | $136 |
Bead size matches cell / sample size for optimal disruption efficiency:
| Bead size | Best for |
| 0.1 mm (this product) | Microbial cells (bacteria, yeast), soft mammalian tissue |
| 0.5 mm | Mammalian cells, fungal cells |
| 1.0 mm | Tougher tissue (plant, fibrous) |
| 2.0+ mm | Very tough tissue (woody plant, dense fiber) |
Smaller beads provide more impact points per unit volume. Ideal for smaller cells (microbial). Larger beads provide more kinetic energy per impact, ideal for tougher samples.
Acid-washed treatment removes residual contaminants from bead manufacturing (silica dust, surface impurities), critical for DNA / RNA / protein extraction workflows where bead contamination would compromise downstream analysis.
Pick the D1031-01 when:
Step to other D1031-* variants for tougher samples (larger beads) or specialty bead chemistries (zirconia for very-tough tissue, alumina for specific applications). Confirm full D1031 family catalog with Benchmark Scientific.
Pair with D1030 BeadBug 3 chassis.
Confirm sample-type compatibility. 0.1 mm bead format optimized for microbial / soft-tissue.
Plan ongoing inventory. Bead tubes are consumable; 50-tube pack supports moderate facility throughput.
Confirm at quote: BeadBug 3 chassis pairing, intended sample type, replacement-cycle plan, and lead time.
Warranty: Per Benchmark Scientific standard consumable terms.
BeadBug 3 prefilled tube consumable:
- D1031-01 (this product): 0.1 mm silica acid-washed, 50/pk ($136), microbial / soft-tissue workhorse
Pick the 0.1 mm silica tube for microbial / soft-tissue cell disruption; sister D1031-* variants (confirm full family with Benchmark Scientific) cover larger-bead / specialty-chemistry workflows. See D1030 anchor for full BeadBug 3 chassis detail.
