Sepmag installs a 2L system of its unique biomagnetic separation technology at  Resyn Biosciences head laboratory in Pretoria, South Africa, allowing this innovative magnetic bead manufacturer to enhance the reproducibility of production batches, reduce material waste, facilitate the validation process and increase the safety of operation. You can follow it on ResynBio’s twitter and facebook.

EMD Millipore, the manufacturer of ESTAPOR magnetic beads, organizes the Technical Seminar "The Use of MicroSpheres and NanoSpheres in Diagnostics and Life Sciences: Technologies & Applications" in Paris, next September 27th and 28th. The two days have been divided in 3 sessions to allocate 17 technical talks.

Researchers of the CIBER-BBN, the  Institut de Biotecnologia i de Biomedicina and the Department of Genetics and Microbiology of the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona and Sepmag have recently published the paper “Enzymatic characterization of highly stable human alpha-galactosidase A displayed on magnetic particles” on the Biochemical Engineering Journal.

Traditional magnetic beads are comprised of solid microspheres.  Unfortunately, binding capacity is limited by the amount of area on the surface of these magnetic beads.

As in every edition since 2008, SEPMAG will be one of the sponsors of the 9th International Conference on the Scientific and Clinical Applications of Magnetic Carriers (http://www.magneticmicrosphere.com) that will be held in Minneapolis, MN, USA from May 22-26, 2012.

Latest theoretical investigations conducted by researchers from the Institut de Ciencia de Materials de Barcelona and the Grup de Fisica Estadistica de la Universitat Autonoma de Barcelona have shed some light on the key aspects of the magnetophoretic separation process.

Researchers at Centro de Fisica of the Universidade do Minho (Braga, Portugal) have used Sepmag LAB precision magnetophoresis equipment to characterize the behaviour of magnetic nanoparticle suspensions throughout their synthesis process.
