Experience the Unrivaled Power of Solid-Core™ Ring Magnets

The second generation of the successful Magnum FLX® Enhanced Universal Magnet Plate retains the powerful features of the original while adding impressive new capabilities:

  • Removable corner tabs that are easily replaced in case of damage or interference

  • Solid aluminum construction to support workflows where temperature control is desired (up to 80ºC)

  • Much improved PAQLOC® Spring Lock to quickly change between bench and liquid handler

  • Patented Solid-Core ring magnets for rapid separation even of viscous or high-volume reactions

    And as always:

  • Handles PCR plates just as well as full volume deep well plates

  • Small elution volumes – as little as 10µl in PCR plates – to preserve product concentration

  • Works with full-, semi-, and non-skirted 96-well PCR plates, as well as shallow, half-deep, and deep well plates with U- and V-bottoms

Up to 4.5x Faster Separation

No other single magnet plate enables rapid separation of samples up to 2 mL in volume and elution in as little as 10 µl. The unique geometry and strength of Solid-Core ring magnets in the Magnum FLX magnet plate can facilitate up to 4.5x faster separation than our 96S Magnet Plate.

Charts below show percent recovery versus time
Various volumes of a magnetic bead reagent were added to a standard 96-well PCR or deep-well microplate, respectively, and placed on the Magnum FLX, Magnum EX, 96S Super Magnet or LE Magnet Plate. Percent recovery over time was determined using spectrophotometry.

 

Designed with Automation in Mind

SBS footprint and elevated base for maximum liquid handler compatibility, and integrated Spring Cushion Technology

Why do I need Spring Cushion Technology?

Alpaqua microplates with integrated Spring Cushion Technology give way when tips come in contact with a well bottom, thus compensating for physical tolerances between labware and pipettors that can compromise precision aspiration.

  • Protects instruments & consumables
  • Improves pipetting consistency
  • Maximizes usage of reagents & samples
  • Minimizes tip vacuum & head contamination
  • Accelerates automated method development

Above: Thanks to the improved PAQLOC Spring Lock, the new Magnum FLX plate can be used with the spring cushion enabled (left), which is helpful in automated workflows, or without springs as a solid magnet plate on the lab bench. In the closed state (right), the magnet can be placed on a Peltier chiller or heater, and the efficient heat transfer provided by the solid aluminum construction will help keep your samples at the perfect temperature for your application.

Left: Anyone who has ever dropped their magnet plate and broken a corner will appreciate the removable corner tabs. Not only are they easily replaced in case of damage, they can be individually removed to make room for a robotic gripper that might otherwise have trouble getting around it.
