    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.

        Advanced Sequencing Platforms Tackle Neuroscience’s Toughest Genomics Problems
        by SEQadmin2



        Genomics studies in neuroscience face a special challenge due to the brain’s complexity and scarcity of samples. Mapping changes in cell type and state using conventional next-generation sequencing methods remains challenging. Advances in technologies like single-cell sequencing, spatial transcriptomics, and long-read sequencing have opened the door to deeper studies of the brain and diseases like Alzheimer’s, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), and schizophrenia.

        Cancer Drug Resistance: The Lingering Barrier to Rising Survival
        by SEQadmin2



        Cancer survival rates have significantly increased in the last few decades in the United States, reaching a combined 70% 5-year survival rate by 2021. Behind this number, there are years of research to find new therapies, drug targets, and early detection methods. But there is one core challenge that keeps slowing down these advances, and it’s about drug resistance.

        There is no single reason why many patients don’t respond to treatment as expected. Cancer is...

        Reply to Nine Things a Sample Prep Scientist Thinks About Before Sequencing
        by GATTACAT
        Love this - good data definitely starts from good input, and poor input can only give relatively poor data. I particularly like the mention of Nanodrop/absorbance based methods for quantification. It's such a toss up if you'll get an accurate reading or what amounts to a randomly generated number, and a lot of library/sequencing related issues can be traced back to poor quant.
