MagSi beads can seamlessly replace discontinued Dynabead® products
MagSi high magnetic content (HMC) beads with sizes of 0.6 um and 1.0 um (1.2 um for MagSi-proteomics and MagSi-DNA allround beads) to replace all previous MagnaMedic products. The use of a novel, newly developed ferro fluid (Mag-Ferro) with an magnetisation of up to 40 emu/g raises the magnetic content from ~30% to 50% enhancing the time to magnet significantly
- MagSi products can replace Dynabeads® without major changes in protocols or handling,
- MagSi has a proven track record for manual use and robotic platforms (Beckman Coulter® , Tecan®, IDS®, Xyril®, Stratek®, Hamilton®, Roche® and others)
Advantages of the MagSi:
- 4-6 times faster and a more complete collection of the MagSi-beads.
- Lower carry over of contaminants.
- Faster protocols can be used (although standard protocols need no adjustment) even with highly viscous solvents and samples.
- Higher yield of your target biomolecule, especially in assays with complex binding kinetics.
- Better reproducibility.
- Small bead with the magnetic performance and strength of a larger version.
- Same size distribution, mean size, surface functionality (e.g. binding capacity, sensitivity) and sedimentation time as the old beads
Notes:
MagSi beads are also available as 600 nm particles for increased binding capacity and sensitivity and in higher standard volumes
* Discontinued by InvitrogenTM
** Please also see the MagSi protein and peptide and MagSi proteomics selection guide
*** MagSi-XXX 1.0 um beads can replace InvitrogenTM 2.8 um and 1 um beads in most existing applications
