Product news

PickPen® magnetic particle technology offers remarkable improvements to the conventional magnetic bioseparation. Moving particles, not liquids allows gentle isolation steps and high quality purified product.

The PickPen® method also enables a visual control of the process and simple optimization of purification protocols. The method eliminates strong external magnetic fields and centrifugal forces by collecting the magnetic particles from the sample vessel. This is especially beneficial in the DNA purification applications.

The MagRo™ 8-M robotic workstation brings the advantage of PickPen® technology to automated sample purification. MagRo™ 8-M fully combines magnetic particle processing and liquid handling and is a rational alternative for low to medium through-put purification needs. MagRo™ 8-M can be used with varying batch sizes, from tubes or plates, up to 96 samples per run.

We supply a complete solution for sample purification by offering PickPen® 1-M and PickPen® 8-M magnetic tools as well as MagRo 8-M robotic workstation together with a range of QuickPick™ reagents for nucleic acid and protein purification. QuickPick™ reagents are available as ready-to-use kits for consistent sample sizes and in scalable and bulk formats for variable sample sizes.

In Germany the instrument is marketed by BERTHOLD TECHNOLOGIES.

Sample PreparationSample preparation can improve the quality and speed of separation techniques. Products to assist sample preparation include filtration equipment, evaporators, membranes and sieves.Lab-on-a-ChipLab-on-a-chip (LOC) technology uses microfluidic chips, such as microarrays, to perform biochemical assays on a small scale. Benefits of lab-on-a-chip include the small volume of sample required as well as the speed of analysis. In selecting lab-on-a-chip devices consider the assay, cost, reliability, sensitivity and signal to noise ratio.
