Magnetic Beads
-
Luna Nanotech's magnetic beads consist of small superparamagnetic nanoparticles encapsulated inside a polymeric shell of ~ 500 nm diameter.
-
Fairly small size of our beads provides optimal surface-to-volume ratio, allowing large amounts of ligands to be loaded onto the surface of the beads.
-
The beads are highly magnetic: collection time on a magnetic rack can be as low as 15-30 seconds.
-
Magnetic beads are available with a variety of surface chemistries that can be used for purification of biomolecules and bioconjugation of biological ligands:.
-
Magnetic beads can be used for purification and enrichment of proteins, DNA/RNA, small molecules and cells from complex mixtures.
-
Loading antibodies, DNA / RNA and other biomolecules through Biotin-Streptavidin interaction, EDC/NHS chemical reaction, or azide-DBCO click chemistry reaction.
-
Our beads are fully compatible with automated high throughput systems that include magnetic separation step.
-
Our SILICA coated magnetic beads have been specifically optimized for use in high throughput magnetic extraction of viral RNA with such robotic systems as Hamilton STARlet, ThermoFisher KingFisher, and Opentron.
