LIGHT LABS now carries a full lineup of MTC Bio Magnetic Bead Separation Racks for bead-based purification. Two new racks cover the formats labs ask for most: a 96-well plate magnet for high-throughput cleanups and a reversible rack for 15 mL and 50 mL conical tubes for larger volumes. They join the popular R0215 reversible microtube rack in our new Magnetic Bead Separation Racks category.
Whether you are isolating DNA and RNA, cleaning up PCR products or running bead-based protein work, there is now an MTC Bio rack for every tube and plate on your bench.
Why MTC Bio Magnetic Racks?
- Efficient magnetic separation — strong magnets pull beads to the side of each tube or well quickly, so you can remove supernatant without disturbing the pellet
- Open-frame design — easy access to every sample and a clear view of the bead pellet
- Durable metal construction — built for long-term, repeated use
- Compact footprints — save bench space and fit easily next to your pipettes and plates
R0096 — 96-Well Magnetic Bead Separation Plate
The R0096 sits under a 96-well plate and lines up a ring-shaped magnet with every well. It works with 96-well PCR, deep well, elution and assay plates, so you can run bead cleanups on a full plate at once without transferring samples to tubes. It pairs well with MTC Bio plates such as the P9602-N Pure•Amp™ PCR plate, the P9096-FSC SureFrame™ PCR plate and the D3096-09 OptiWell™ deep well plate.
R0250 — Magnetic Rack for 15 mL and 50 mL Tubes
The R0250 brings magnetic separation to larger volumes. It has 6 slots with 4 magnets per slot and a reversible design: one side holds three 15 mL conical tubes and the other holds three 50 mL conical tubes. It is a good fit for scaling up bead-based nucleic acid and protein purification, or for cell separation protocols that start with larger samples.
R0215 — Reversible Rack for Microtubes and PCR Tubes
For everyday small-volume work, the R0215 holds 8 x 1.5/2.0 mL microtubes on one side and 16 x 0.1/0.2 mL PCR tubes on the other, with removable magnets. Use it with MTC Bio C2002 2.0 mL microcentrifuge tubes or P3010-A 0.2 mL PCR 8-strip tubes.
Applications
- DNA and RNA purification — magnetic bead extraction from cells, tissue, blood and swabs
- PCR and NGS library cleanup — bead-based size selection and cleanup between steps
- Immunoprecipitation and protein purification — fast, gentle capture with magnetic beads
- Cell separation — bead-based enrichment in 15 mL and 50 mL tubes
