MAG And HEATMAG: Streamlining Magnetic Bead Purifications

These cutting-edge solutions streamline magnetic bead purification in a broad range of molecular and proteomics workflows. The powerful magnets ensure fast bead collection with minimal loss and carryover, and their adjustable height can be customized to your volume requirements for optimal results every time. But that's not all; the HEATMAG module goes one step further by combining magnetic separation with heating capabilities, providing the perfect setting for nucleic acid extraction. It's a truly unique solution that sets INTEGRA apart from the rest.

The MAG and HEATMAG modules offer versatility like never before; they can be seamlessly integrated with our pipetting platforms for semi or fully automated workflows, or used as standalone units for manual processing, depending on your requirements. Combining them with the VIAFLO 96, MINI 96 or VIAFLO 384 pipetting platforms will enable you to process 96 or 384 well plates, or 24 tubes, simultaneously, significantly boosting your productivity. With the ASSIST PLUS pipetting robot, the MAG and HEATMAG modules provide full walk-away magnetic bead purification without the need for costly grippers and robotic arms. This combination opens up new possibilities for your laboratory, making it easier than ever to achieve high quality results.

In summary, the key benefits of the MAG and HEATMAG modules are:

• Adjustable magnet heights for bead collection, depending on the volume.
• Exceptional magnet strength, ensuring minimal bead carryover and maximum yields.
• HEATMAG offers a unique combination of magnetic engagement and heating capabilities for lysis or elution.
• Easy integration with the VIAFLO 96, MINI 96 or VIAFLO 384 pipetting platforms.
• Full automation when combined with the ASSIST PLUS pipetting robot.

How it works

MAG modules enable automated bead collection using hands-free vertical magnet movement.

• Overview

  1. Strong magnet for minimal bead loss. The magnetic array can be exchanged on the MAG modules.
  2. Automated bead collection using vertical magnet movement.
  3. Different labware formats, such as tubes or plates, can be processed.
  4. Magnetic bead purification workflows can be fully automated using the ASSIST PLUS pipetting robot.

• Fast bead capture

• Hands-free vertical movement of a strong magnetic array and adjustable bead collection height result in high yields. This enables automated bead collection and optimal magnetic bead capture at both low and high volumes.
• Users can switch between different preset heights when using it manually, or benefit from full workflow automation on the ASSIST PLUS pipetting robot.

• Heating and magnetic separation in one

• HEATMAG combines magnets and heating in one device, supporting workflows at temperatures of up to 65 °C. This unique capability is crucial for tasks like lysis or elution

• Versatility

• The modules are compatible with a variety of labware types, providing added versatility for a wide range of applications.

• Boost productivity for magnetic bead applications

• Integration of MAG modules with the ASSIST PLUS pipetting robot allows fully automated, walk-away sample processing, optimizing workflow efficiency and boosting productivity in magnetic bead purification protocols.
• Combining the modules with the MINI 96, VIAFLO 96 or VIAFLO 384 enables the simultaneous processing of 96 or 384 wells, or 24 tubes, for high throughput magnetic bead clean-up.

• Experience intuitive user interaction

• Explore seamless automation with the ASSIST PLUS pipetting robot and VIALAB pipetting software, for effortless control of the MAG modules.To use the modules in combination with the MINI 96, VIAFLO 96, or VIAFLO 384, or on their own, simply connect them to a computer via a USB connection for easy customization, or install the Communication Module to enable Bluetooth communication with the MAG Control App on mobile devices.

• Sustainability through longevity and plastic reduction

• The longer you can use a device, the better it is for the planet. At INTEGRA, we design our products to ensure low wear and easy serviceability. Moreover, we offer consumable solutions that are low in plastic, for both reservoirs and pipette tips.
