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. Neodymium magnets are used 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, and 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.
