This is the original “SPRIPlate” designed for use with the Beckman/Agencourt SPRI® magnetic bead chemistry.

A reliable workhorse, it is used in a wide variety of magnetic bead protocols and found in top genome centers and laboratories all over the world.

Ring-shaped magnets pull magnetic beads to the well perimeter which allows for maximum aspiration of supernatants, wash solutions, and eluates.

Ring Magnet Benefits:

  • Minimizes edge effect because each well has a dedicated magnet
  • Faster separations because there is more magnetic material per well
  • Expansive 96 well microplate compatibility in comparison to post magnets, including with PCR plates

 

Automation-friendly

SBS footprint for broad compatibility, gripper grooves for easy robot access, and integrated Spring Cushion Technology

Why do I need Spring Cushion Technology?

Alpaqua magnet plates with integrated Spring Cushion Technology give way when tips come in contact with a well bottom.  This compensates for physical tolerances between labware and pipettors that can compromise precision aspiration and ultimately improve pipetting.

  • Minimizes tip vacuum & possible pipette head contamination
  • Improves pipetting consistency and enables maximum aspiration of samples and reagents
  • Maximizes usage of reagents & samples
  • Protects instruments & consumables
  • Accelerates automated method development

  • We use this plate to prepare MiSeq libraries and for all DNA/RNA bead-based clean up.  It is a wonderful magnet plate that works exceptionally well.

  • This is brilliant. Put my samples on and the beads scurry to the edges – meaning I can pipette out the supernatant and wash samples with ease.
