    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.

              Multiomic Liquid Biopsy: What DNA/RNA Panels Reveal That DNA Alone Can’t
              by SEQadmin2



              Tumors contain complex mixtures of cell populations that evolve in response to treatment and host-specific factors. Tissue biopsies provide only static snapshots of a tumor’s state. But what if we could follow that evolution over time using a minimally invasive technique?

              Liquid biopsies can detect tumor-derived material circulating in the bloodstream, providing a way to study treatment response, detect emerging resistance, and discover new biomarkers. Circulating              ...

              New Genomics Technologies Take Aim at Long-Standing Limits
              by SEQadmin2


              Researchers using sequencing and genomics tools often have to make trade-offs. They can choose between speed or scale, short reads or long-range information, or targeted panels or a view of the whole transcriptome. New technologies that have been released this year are built to address those tough choices.

              We asked six companies the same four questions to learn about their latest products. The new technologies bring a lot to the table, including rethinking sequencing              ...
