Efficiently collect protein-bound magnetic beads during washing and supernatant removal. Suitable for protein purification, antibody purification, immunoprecipitation and other biomolecule capture workflows.
Diagnostics & Clinical Applications
Standardize a critical assay step.
Reduce operator-dependent decisions with reproducible magnetic separation conditions and objective process monitoring. Improve consistency in immunoassays, IVD development, molecular diagnostics, assay validation and routine diagnostic workflows.
Scale-Up & GMP Manufacturing
Scale the process without changing the separation principle.
Transfer magnetic bead separation from process development to pilot and GMP manufacturing while maintaining controlled separation conditions. Sepmag enables large-volume magnetic bead separation using glass and single-use vessels, supporting process validation, quality control and reproducible batch-to-batch manufacturing.
One Separation Principle Across Applications
Whatever the target molecule or process scale, Sepmag focuses on the same critical separation requirements.
In all these applications, magnetic beads or magnetic particles carry the target material and must be completely and reproducibly collected before the liquid phase is removed.
Constant magnetic force
Predictable magnetic bead movement and recovery.
Real-time monitoring
Measure separation kinetics and define an objective endpoint.
Reproducible results
Reduce variability between operators, runs and batches while protecting recovery and process yield.
Scalable technology
Transfer separation conditions from R&D to manufacturing.
Frequently asked questions about magnetic bead separation applications
What applications use magnetic bead separation?
Magnetic bead separation is used for DNA and RNA extraction and purification, cell isolation and enrichment, protein and antibody purification, immunoassays and diagnostic workflows, and magnetic bead-based manufacturing processes.
Can magnetic bead separation be scaled from R&D to manufacturing?
Yes. Successful scale-up requires maintaining controlled magnetic separation conditions as sample volume and vessel geometry change. Sepmag uses constant magnetic force to support process transfer from research and process development to large-volume and GMP manufacturing.
Can Sepmag separate both magnetic nanoparticles and microparticles?
Yes. Sepmag offers magnetic bead separators for workflows using magnetic nanoparticles and microparticles, with systems selected according to particle characteristics, process volume, application and development stage.
How does real-time monitoring improve magnetic bead separation?
Real-time monitoring measures separation kinetics and provides an objective separation endpoint. This allows users to compare runs, optimize protocols, identify deviations and document separation performance instead of relying only on fixed separation times or visual inspection.
