Nippon FastGene® MagnaStand - Model 96 -Magnetic Beads
Magnetic stand for the purification with magnetic beads in a 96-well plate. Magnetic Beads have been used for a long time to isolate nucleic acids as well as recombinant proteins. The purification was however problematic, often with carry over when the pellet was disturbed or with contamination when the supernatant was 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 1.5, 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 for faster attraction of magnetic particles
The Neodymium magnets 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.
- Separation of magnetic beads.
- NGS library preparation
- recombinant protein
- Material: Aluminium body
- Magnets: Neodymium Magnets
- Number of Magnets: 8 or 96 magnets
For large volumes using 1.5 ml tubes. The position of the magnets is adjustable in horizontal as well as vertical axis.
- Perform up to 8 purifications in parallel
- Extra large magnets for larger volumes
- Adjust the magnet position to the volume of your sample
For purifications of ultra low volumes (down to 5 µl) using normal PCR-tubes. The optimal horizontal position can be fine-tuned.
The FastGene® MagnaStand (FG-SSMAG2) from Nippon Genetics was implemented in the diagnostic lab of our institute to isolate genomic DNA from patients, for a SureSelectQXT Target Enrichment (Agilent), before being sequenced using a MiSeq instrument (Illumina). The FastGene® Magna Stand has been used in all steps where AMPure XP beads (BeckmanCoulter) or Dynabeads (Life Technology) were utilized.
The handling of the FastGene® Magna Stands is very easy and the results obtained so far are good. The pellet stays, as desired, at the side of the tube wall, enabling an easy removal of the supernatant. In some cases, the complete removal of the elution was possible. The FastGene® Magna Stand is compact and robust. We are very satisfied with it and would recommend it any time!
