Ring-shaped magnets pull magnetic beads to the well perimeter which allows for maximum aspiration of supernatants, wash solutions, and eluates.
Ring Magnet Benefits:
- Minimizes edge effect because each well has a dedicated magnet
- Faster separations because there is more magnetic material per well
- Expansive 96 well microplate compatibility in comparison to post magnets, including with PCR plates
Automation-friendly
SBS footprint for broad compatibility, gripper grooves for easy robot access, and integrated Spring Cushion Technology
Why do I need Spring Cushion Technology?
Alpaqua magnet plates with integrated Spring Cushion Technology give way when tips come in contact with a well bottom. This compensates for physical tolerances between labware and pipettors that can compromise precision aspiration and ultimately improve pipetting.
- Minimizes tip vacuum & possible pipette head contamination
- Improves pipetting consistency and enables maximum aspiration of samples and reagents
- Maximizes usage of reagents & samples
- Protects instruments & consumables
- Accelerates automated method development
