Understanding the process and anticipating the problems can help ensure successful separations. The use of magnetic beads for capturing biological molecules has become commonplace in the life sciences ...

Magnetic beads (or superparamagnetic particles) can be used for the isolation and purification of cells, nucleic acids, proteins or any other biomolecules. The surface of magnetic beads can be coated ...

INTEGRA Biosciences created the MAG and HEATMAG modules with scientists in mind. These state-of-the-art methods simplify the purification of magnetic beads in various proteomics and molecular ...

Traditional magnetic separators, however, present a challenge: they generate a magnetic force that is very high near the side of the vessel closest to the magnet and decreases rapidly with distance.

Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISAs) continue to evolve to meet increased user demands. One such advancement stemming from traditional ELISA technology is the use of microspheres (beads) as a ...

Magnetic beads (or superparamagnetic particles) are highly versatile and automation-friendly tools used to purify, enrich or deplete most biological targets, including cells, exosomes, proteins and ...

Molecular diagnostics is reshaping healthcare by enabling rapid, high-sensitivity testing for everything from infectious diseases to complex genetic conditions. Yet the effectiveness of these tests ...

Dynabeads are microscopic magnetic spheres which scientists use to isolate certain types of cells and proteins. Now, MIT researchers are developing a method of using the beads to quickly spot ...

Jennifer Aronson has had digestive problems since childhood. By her 20s the acid reflux was so painful, she could barely swallow a sip of water without it coming back up. Medications didn't ease her ...

Call it what you will — acid reflux, gastroesophageal reflux disease, or just plain heartburn. About 1 in 5 Americans suffer symptoms each week. They spend $10 billion a year on medication to relieve ...

A 5-year-old Chinese boy was so attracted to magnets that he swallowed 123 of them in the form of beads — which had to be removed from his stomach during a four-hour operation, according to a report.
