Questions & Answers
What are Large Volume Magnetic Bead Separators?
Large Volume Magnetic Bead Separators are engineered systems designed for efficient, high-throughput magnetic bead separation at multi-liter scales, supporting bioprocessing, diagnostics, and industrial manufacturing workflows. They enable scalable separation from pilot to production volumes with reproducible, high-yield results.
How do Sepmag Large Volume Separators support scalable bioprocessing?
Sepmag systems maintain consistent separation conditions across the entire working volume, eliminating the need for process re-engineering during scale-up. This ensures reproducible workflows from small batches to tens of liters with minimal method adjustment.
What makes Sepmag Large Volume Magnetic Bead Separators different from traditional separators?
Sepmag separators deliver uniform, constant magnetic force throughout the separation volume, which avoids bead aggregation, improves recovery, and enhances reproducibility compared to conventional magnetic systems that generate non-homogeneous forces.
What is the QUALITANCE monitoring system and why is it important?
QUALITANCE is Sepmag’s integrated real-time process monitoring software and sensor platform. It tracks separation performance, compares results against defined protocols, identifies deviations early, and enables traceable digital records for QA/QC, audits, and regulatory compliance.
