FastGene MagnaStand 0.2

Magnetic Beads have been used for a long time to isolate nucleic acids as well as recombinant proteins. The purification however is problematic, often with carry over when the pellet is disturbed or contaminated when the supernatant is not completely removed. The FastGene MagnaStands solve both issues. By creating a pellet at the side walls rather than at the bottom, the MagnaStands allow with their very strong neodymium magnets the complete removal of the supernatant without touching the pellet. Additionally, with the MagnaStand 0.2, the vertical position is adjustable allowing the magnets’ place to be fine tuned on the tube according to volume used in the purification. Neodymium magnets used here are the strongest permanent magnets in the world.

The advantages of using such strong magnets are:

- Very quick separation of magnetic beads from the solution

- Stable pellet even when resuspending

- Complete collection of the magnetic beads for less material loss

Together with the vertical position of the magnets, the magnetic strength gives you the optimal solution for purification of magnetic beads.
