Magnetic Bead Separation For Every Microplate

 

The largest collection and most economical magnetic separation blocks on the market

 

 

 

We have assembled the largest collection of magnetic bead separation blocks in the research market.  We have systems for a large variety of microplates found on this page and we have a separate page for vials, tubes, bottles and larger containers.  Our NdFeB separation magnets are also the strongest available varying from 48 to 52 MGO.  We also have these in various sizes and shapes from cylinders, squares and rectangles.  If we don't have a separation block to fit your plate we will custom build one for you.  It's not special, it's what we do.

 


  Magnetic Bead Separation Systems

     


     VP 771 Bases

     
 

All of our magnetic separation blocks are designed to fit into both the VP 771G-4R (on the left) and the VP 771G-4RM bases on the right.  The Bases have an SBS dimensioned microplate base and support structures that hold both the separation block and the microplate in perfect alignment.  The difference between the two bases is that the VP 771G-4R is shorter with a shorter base and shorter support structures. 

 
 
 


Because of the short base, the VP 771G-4R is not compatible with our aspiration and dispense manifolds.  However it can be used with robotic aspiration and dispense systems.   We built the VP 771G-4RM so it would be compatible with our manual aspiration and dispensing systems by making the base and the support structures taller.  The VP 771G-4RM can be used with both manual and robotic applications.  We recommend using this base in all applications except where there is a "Z" limitation.

VP 771MM

     
 


VP 771MM is a 7 NdFeB bar separation system that can be used to separate magnetic beads in 6, 24, 48 and  96 microplates.  This system uses our VP 783NR-3-12-75 bar magnets that are 50 MGO.  The system mates to and includes a VP 771G-4RM which holds and registers the microplates to the VP 771MM.   The  VP 771G-4RM is designed to fit onto SBS plate holders and to hold SBS dimensioned microplates.  

 
 
 

The photo on the right illustrates how the VP 771MM fits into a VP 177AD-1 -PLUS dispenser.  The wells of a 96 well microplate line up perfectly with the dispensing tubes of the VP 177AD-1_PLUS.  The processing of plates for magnetic bead assays using V&P's magnetic separation, aspirating and dispensing systems is very easy.

 
 
 

The VP 771MM is designed to be used with microplate aspiration and dispensing  systems to facilitate assay processing. The photo on the right illustrates how the VP 771MM fits into a VP 177A-1 aspiration system.  The wells of a 96 well microplate line up perfectly with the aspiration tubes of the VP 177A-1 so the tubes are in the middle of the

VP 771E-2

     
 


The VP 771E-2 Magnetic Separation Device is designed for high-throughput bio-separation using paramagnetic particles in 96-well microplates with an open architecture on the bottom so the magnetic posts can protrude between the wells.    Open architecture plates such as the

Corning 3956 Clear V-Bottom Deep Well 0.5mL Polypropylene
Corning 3958 Clear V-Bottom Deep Well 1.0mL Polypropylene
and most other microplates that have spaces between the wells accessible from the bottom of the plate.

Dimensions:

Width - 127.76mm
Length - 85.48mm
Height - 28.58mm
 

The photo to the right illustrates paramagnetic bead in a microplate prior to being place on a VP 771E-2

 

 
 
 


By placing a powerful (48 MGO Neodynium Boron) magnet between every 4 wells, the paramagnetic beads are pulled to the side of the wells permitting the aspiration of the supernatant from the center of the well or from a corner.  See our slant angled manifold VP 178D or the  VP 179A - VP 178BJ aspiration manifold jig system for removing supernatants from 96 well microplates.
 

We also offer several dispensing systems for adding bead wash solutions to the 96 well microplates while on the magnetic separation block (VP 177AD-PLUS, VP 177AD-1-PLUS and VP 179A jig system with either the VP 178JD-PLUS or VP 178BJD-PLUS).

 
 
 


The tight pellets produced by the VP 771E-2 are illustrated in the photo to the right.

 
 
 


The VP 771E-2 has an SBS foot print that fits into the angled VP 381E.  This holds the plate at angle which in conjunction with the angled aspirating tubes placed in the lowest corner of the wells facilitates the complete removal of liquid from the wells while leaving the pellet held to the side of the wells.

 
 
 


The close-up photo on the right illustrates the relationship between the angled tubes and the pelleted beads.

VP 771H

     
 


The VP 771H Magnetic Separation Device is designed for high-throughput bio-separation using paramagnetic particles in 96-well microplates with either a flat solid bottom so there are 9 magnetic posts surrounding each well to attract the magnetic beads to the bottom of the wells or it can also function with conical well (PCR) 96 well plates to attract the magnetic beads to 9 sides of each well as the conical tips fit into holes between the magnets.

By placing 9 powerful (48 MGO Neodynium Boron) magnets around every well, the paramagnetic beads are pulled to the side of the wells permitting the aspiration of the supernatant from the center of a flat bottom well or from the bottom of a conical well See our aspiration systems at VP 177A-1, VP 178BJ and VP 179A jig system.   We also offer several dispensing systems for adding bead wash solutions to the 96 well microplates while on the magnetic separation block (VP 177AD-PLUS, VP 177AD-1-PLUS and VP 179A jig system with either the VP 178JD-PLUS or VP 178BJD-PLUS).

VP 771G-4

     
 


The VP 771G-4 Magnetic Separation Device is designed for high-throughput bio-separation using paramagnetic particles in 384-well microplates (flat bottom or conical (PCR plates).   By placing 4 powerful (48 MGO Neodynium Boron) magnets around every well, paramagnetic beads are pulled to the four corners permitting the aspiration of the supernatant from the center of the well.  The photo to the right illustrates the 2 components of the VP 771G-4, the VP 771G-4S magnetic separation plate and the VP 771G-4R registration system for microplates.   These two units working in tandem can accommodate any style of 384 well microplate and any microplate holder system.

 

See our VP 179A - VP 179BJ aspiration manifold jig system for removing supernatants from 384 well microplates.

 

We also offer a dispensing system for adding bead wash solutions to the 384 well microplates while on the magnetic separation block, the VP 179A - VP 179BJD-PLUS.

 

 
 
 


The VP 771G-4 conforms to the SBS footprint (127.7 mm x 85.48 mm) so that it can be placed in any robotic deck station or other device with a SBS holding profile.  The VP 771G-4 is also designed as a low profile device with only 7.5 mm Z height.  Microplates can be placed on the VP 771G-4 and will be registered by the trace around the edge of the device.  This feature of the VP 771-4 allows compatibility with any plate processing laboratory robot with a plate gripper.

 

 
 


The photo on the right illustrates a Griener polypropylene 384 microplate with Promega super-paramagnetic beads with out magnetic separation blocks.

 
 
 


The V&P 48 Mega Gauss Orestad magnets High-energy neodymium iron boron magnets placed in 4 corners around every well is able to produce 4 very tight pellets in the corners of very well leaving the center of each well available for aspiration.  The strength of our high energy magnets leads to rapid separation of paramagnetic beads and holds the beads tightly to the bottom of the wells.

 
 
 


The VP 771G-4 is compatible with most 384 well microplates as well as conical well PCR microplate as illustrated on the right.  In order to accommodate the conical well PCR the VP 771G-4 has 384 holes between the magnets as illustrated in the photo below and to the right.

 

 
 


The aluminum registration base (VP 771G-4R) is attached to the separation block VP 771G-4S via 4 allen screws in the locating fingers.  This unique ability to use as a low profile separation block or in a raised position allows it to be used in all microplate holding systems.  Also the locating fingers allow the separation units to be stacked on top of each other without being stuck together.
