Automation

More than 25,000 instruments world-wide use Dynabeads®

A wide selection of Dynabeads® are available for the magnetic isolation of specific cells, DNA, mRNA, proteins, microbes or other target molecules from your starting sample.

Designed for automation

Intrinsic features of the Dynabeads make them perfectly suited for automation. All beads - both within and between batches - are identical in size, shape, surface properties and iron content. The beads disperse well and sediment slowly, yet move quickly and with an even pull to the magnet. This facilitates rapid target binding, short incubation and separation times. No mixing or stirring is necessary. Dynabeads do not aggregate, ensuring homogenous fluid behavior in automated systems - without any blocking or clogging of pipette tips. Dynabeads are a pipettable solid-phase which handles like a liquid!

Invitrogen's premier magnets for automation: brought to you by Invitrogen Dynal.

The magnets below are are optimized for efficient separation nucleic acids from small sample volumes (5 µl - 200 µl) using Dynabeads.  These magnets provide incredibly strong magnetic attraction and are suitable for use with all types of Dynabeads.

DynaMag™-96 Side


       (magnified below)









5 µl - 200 µl

Replaces the Dynal MPC®-9600 magnet
• Holds PCR-Style Strips & Plates: 
    • PCR strips (8 & 12 well)
    • non-skirted & ½-skirted 96-well plates
    • 48 & 96 microtubes for the Applied
      Biosystems GeneAmp® PCR System

• Pulls beads to the side of each well.
• For manual & automated work.
• Footprint size same as a 96-well plate. 

• Features 13 columns.
• In conjunction with an automated platform, the 13th column enables sample mixing without physically interacting with the sample.  This is performed by repeatedly shifting the plate from the left-most to the right-most position & vice-versa.

 DynaMag™-96 Bottom


       (magnified below)






5 µl - 200 µl

Replaces the Dynal MPC®-96B magnet
• Holds PCR-Style Strips & Plates: 
    • PCR strips (8 & 12 well)
    • non-skirted & ½-skirted 96-well plates
    • 48 & 96 microtubes for the Applied
      Biosystems GeneAmp® PCR System

• Pulls beads to the bottom of each well.
• For manual & automated work.
• Footprint size same as a 96-well plate.
 DynaMag™-96 Side Skirted


       (magnified below)





5 µl - 200 µl

• Holds skirted 96-well PCR-Style plates.

• Pulls beads to the side of each well.
• For automated work.
• Footprint size same as a 96-well plate.
