Laboratories of every size and budget can now bring magnetic bead separation into their experiments with the introduction of these smartly priced, innovative racks from SP Scienceware.

Independent sleeves are one of the features that makes these new Bel-Art^® Magnetic Bead Separation Racks by SP Scienceware^® unique to the market. “Along with their completive pricing, these racks offer exceptional quality and value compared to other brands,” according to SP Scienceware Product Manager Michael Grzelak.

Designed for use in any laboratory utilizing immunology, proteomic, or genomic assays, these powerful racks sequester magnetic beads so that affinity ligands or rinse solutions can be easily added or decanted off.

“More nimble tube handling and liquid control are the benefits of these patent pending, independent sleeves that are featured on 3 models for centrifuge tubes,” said Grzelak. “The sleeves also feature spring plungers that hold the tube firmly in place allowing your assay beads to be held at any desired height along the tube wall.”

For microplates, the line offers a 96-well PCR plate rack with 24 magnets that snugly hold the plate between tubes while attracting beads to the tube walls. A flat bottom microplate model has magnets covering the entire footprint to accept standard micro-plates with any number of wells, from 6 to 1536.
