Traditional magnetic separators, however, present a challenge: they generate a magnetic force that is very high near the side of the vessel closest to the magnet and decreases rapidly with distance.

Understanding the process and anticipating the problems can help ensure successful separations. The use of magnetic beads for capturing biological molecules has become commonplace in the life sciences ...

There are, however, several major differences between magnetic bead technologies and other conventional biotech techniques that can pose some challenges for new users. Even though many stages of ...

For better or worse, the technology that performs biological measurements often takes center stage when new discoveries are reported. Although the measurement yields the interesting result, in many ...

Magnetic beads (or superparamagnetic particles) can be used for the isolation and purification of cells, nucleic acids, proteins or any other biomolecules. The surface of magnetic beads can be coated ...
