    Best magnet plate for beads separation

    Hello all,

    I am recently doing sequencing library prep in a 96-well plate. I found that especially with small volume, magnet beads separation can take very long. In addition, when I try to remove all the residual solution, I often get beads carryover. I wonder whether getting a better and stronger magnet plate will help. Any suggestions?
    The magnet plate I am using:
    Magnetic Stand-96 1 Ea. | Buy Online | thermofisher.com
    https://www.thermofisher.com/order/catalog/product/AM10027
    Magnetic Stand-96. For the paramagnetic bead precipitation from standard 96-well U-bottom microplates and 0.2 mL PCR plates with no additional accessories. The Ambion stand has a clear polyacryl base in a standard SBS 9. Available in 1 Ea.


    Thanks!

      Hello,
      Did you try the Agencourt SPRIPlate 96 (ref. A29164 in the beckman Coulter catalog)?
      We use it in our lab and we are rather satisfied with it.
      regards,

      Hugues

          Magnum FLX® with Solid-Core™ Technology – (1. Generation) - Alpaqua
          https://www.alpaqua.com/Products/Magnet-Plates/Magnum-FLX
          Universal 96-well magnet plate containing proprietary Solid-Core ring magnets for rapid magnetic bead separation from sample volumes as large as 2 mL and elution in as little as 10 µl.  Compatible with all commonly used 96-well microplates and robotic platforms. Contains Spring Cushion Technology.


          by far the best plate mag I've tried. it's expensive but if you are doing lots of cleanups and want speed and small volumes it's probably worth it.

              Beyond CRISPR/Cas9: Understand, Choose, and Use the Right Genome Editing Tool
              by SEQadmin2



              CRISPR/Cas9 sparked the gene editing revolution for both research and therapeutics.1 But this system still showed severe issues that limited its applications. The most prominent were the heavy reliance on PAM sequences, delivery limitations, double-stranded breaks that prompt unintended edits and cell death, and editing inefficiency (both in targeting and in knock-in reliability).

              Despite this, “CRISPR helped turn genome editing from a specialized technique into              ...

              Proteomic Platforms: How to Choose the Right Analytical Strategy to Improve Detection and Clinical Applications
              by SEQadmin2


              Proteomics platforms are evolving rapidly, with advances in mass spectrometry and affinity-based approaches expanding what researchers can detect and at what scale. As the field moves toward deeper proteome coverage and clinical applications, scientists face an increasingly complex landscape of tools. This article will explore how researchers are navigating these choices to find the right platform for their work.

              The systematic characterization of the human proteome has              ...
