This magnetic bead separation system for
50 ml conical test tubes consists of 2 parts. The
VP 772F1M is a magnetic base which set on a base with
the same dimensions as a microplate (127.76mm by 85.48 mm)
holds four 48 MGO NdFeB magnets that are 25.4 mm cubes.
The VP 772F1R is a rack holding eight 50 ml conical
test tubes which can be manually or robotically placed over
the magnetic base and the magnetic beads in the test tubes
are rapidly separated by the large and power magnetic field
generated by the VP 772F1M.The
photo on the right illustrates the two parts mated together
and the photo below it illustrates how they perfectly fit
together and hold the test tubes close to the magnets for
rapid separation of the beads. Note that we have
machined slots in the tube rack so you can see the tubes and
when the beads have been separated.
The key to our success is that we use
very large magnets with high energy 48 MGO or higher.
