The MagAttract Magnetic Rack is a convenient separation device for nucleic acid purification using magnetic beads (e.g., MagAttract Suspension G) in 2 ml tubes.
Efficient Nucleic Acid Purification SupportDesigned to streamline laboratory workflows, the Qiagen MagAttract Magnetic Rack maximizes efficiency in DNA and RNA extraction processes. With compatibility for both 1.5 ml and 2.0 ml microcentrifuge tubes and a 16-tube capacity, it is well-suited for high-throughput protocols. Its robust neodymium magnets enable swift, thorough magnetic bead separation, supporting reliable results.
Built for Laboratory Durability and Chemical ResistanceThe robust construction of the MagAttract Magnetic Rack uses high-grade, chemical-resistant plastic, ensuring longevity even in demanding laboratory settings. Resistant to common chemicals, solvents, and alcohols, the rack maintains performance and structural integrity over time, helping users maintain consistent purification workflows.
User-Friendly and Portable DesignThe magnetic rack is lightweight, compact, and easy to handle with approximate dimensions of 13 cm x 8 cm x 6 cm and a weight of 350 g. Silent manual operation makes it suitable for noise-sensitive environments, and its portable design allows for convenient use at various laboratory stations without the need for external power sources.
FAQ's of Qiagen MagAttract Magnetic Rack:
Q: How do I use the Qiagen MagAttract Magnetic Rack for nucleic acid purification?
A: Simply load up to 16 standard 1.5 ml or 2.0 ml microcentrifuge tubes containing your sample and magnetic beads onto the rack. The high-strength neodymium magnets quickly attract the magnetic beads to the sides, enabling efficient separation during wash and elution steps as specified in QIAGEN's purification kit protocols.
Q: What types of tubes are compatible with this magnetic rack?
A: The rack is designed for standard 1.5 ml and 2.0 ml microcentrifuge tubes, which are commonly used in molecular biology workflows. It is not intended for tubes of other sizes or formats.
Q: Where should I store the MagAttract Magnetic Rack when not in use?
A: Store the rack in a clean, dry environment to prevent potential contamination or degradation of materials. Avoid exposing it to excessive heat or moisture to maintain longevity and optimal performance.
Q: Is the MagAttract rack autoclavable for sterilization?
A: No, it is not recommended to autoclave the MagAttract Magnetic Rack. Chemical resistance provides durability and ease of cleaning, but high heat may damage the embedded magnets and plastic structure.
Q: What are the benefits of using high-strength neodymium magnets in this rack?
A: High-strength neodymium magnets ensure rapid and thorough magnetic bead separation, minimizing sample loss and processing time. This leads to more reliable nucleic acid purification, especially when handling multiple samples in parallel.
Q: Can this rack be mounted on the wall for storage or operation?
A: No, this model is not designed for wall mounting. Its compact, portable design is intended for benchtop use, providing flexibility to move and position the rack as needed within the laboratory.
Q: What is the recommended sample volume range for use with this rack?
A: The rack efficiently supports sample volumes ranging from 20 l up to 2 ml, making it ideal for both small-scale and larger purification processes typical in molecular biology and clinical laboratories.
