The D1032-SK is the Triple-Pure zirconium bead size evaluation kit at $189, 50 tubes total (10 tubes each of 5 different bead sizes: 0.1 / 0.5 / 1.0 / 1.5 / 3.0 mm). Same price as a single-size 50-pack, facilities benefit from full bead-size range at the same $189 price point for method-development / workflow evaluation before committing to bulk single-size procurement.
Key Specifications
| SKU | D1032-SK |
| Type | Triple-Pure zirconium bead size evaluation starter kit |
| Composition | 10 tubes each of 0.1, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, and 3.0 mm zirconium Triple-Pure beads = 50 tubes total |
| List price | $189 (same price as single-size 50-pack; exceptional value for evaluation) |
| Compatible chassis | D1030 BeadBug 3, D1036 BeadBug 6 |
Why the Starter Kit
Sample-prep optimization often requires comparing different bead sizes against the same sample to find the optimal disruption profile. Procuring 5 separate 50-packs ($189 × 5 = $945) for evaluation is wasteful when only 10 tubes per size are needed for protocol-development comparison. The starter kit provides 10 tubes per size at one $189 price, substantial procurement-efficiency for evaluation.
Pick the D1032-SK when:
- Method-development workflow. Comparing bead-size effects on disruption efficiency
- First-time BeadBug procurement. Evaluating bead-size range before committing to bulk
- Multi-sample-type facility. Quickly testing different bead sizes against diverse sample types
