Beads for in-vitro diagnostic assays are often manufactured large scale and subsequently aliquoted into smaller kits. Using conventional separators, beads that are farther from the magnet will be harder to manipulate and those that are closer may experience an excessive force, often resulting in bead aggregation, loss of activity and resuspension problems.
Sepmag Magnetic Systems are designed so that all beads experience the same force (regardless of the distance to the magnetic wall) and the risk of IVD test variability is therefore greatly reduced. Besides, Sepmag homogeneous conditions allow batches to be scaled up to 20 litres without the need for process revalidation. Furthermore, the QCR on-line monitoring software ensures batch quality.
