The SpeedSep 5000 unit allows for the semi-automatic repositioning of its magnet. This eliminates the need for the operator to move the vessel during the mixing and washing stages of beading coating and manufacturing thus saving time and reducing the risk of costly spills.

Sharing the Knowledge
The separation principle is simple. Magnetic separations work by means of specific affinity coatings attached to tiny magnetic beads. Beads are mixed with a sample containing the target biomolecules or cells such that the target has the opportunity to bind tightly to the affinity group on the bead. Once attached, the bead and the target can be separated using a strong magnetic field. The beads are superparamagnetic, meaning they will respond to a magnetic field, but do not, themselves, become magnetized. Depending on the process, the target may either remain bound to the bead or released by washing in a suitable solvent. Therefore, efficient and rapid isolation is possible.

Bead and Protocol Compatibility
LifeSep magnetic bead separators and products are designed to work with most commercially available superparamagnetic beads, roughly 0.8 micron and above. Smaller beads can be used, but it is important to ensure the size distribution of the beads is narrow and the magnetic mass susceptibility is adequate. For beads in the nanometer range, Dexter can provide extremely high gradient, custom separation devices achieving efficient collection that might otherwise only be possible with matrix-based technology.
