How do Sepmag® Systems work with ESTAPOR® magnetic microspheres?

The most frequent concern when considering the use of modern Biomagnetic Separation Systems is their compatibility with specific magnetic beads. Although Sepmag® devices are already working successfully in IVD labs and production lines, this is a very legitimate question.

Two conditions to have constant magnetic force regardless the lot volume

It is vitally important to understand the process and all of the variables of the process when scaling up a biomagnetic separation in a magnetic separation rack. If you do not understand the details of your process, you will throw away your initial investment you made in validating your initial process and jeopardize the product’s time to market.

Why the force over different volume bottles is constant in advanced Biomagnetic Separation Systems?

The most common mistake when attempting to scale up production of magnetic beads using a classical magnetic separation rack is to use the same magnetic field that was used at smaller volumes. But keeping the magnetic field constant at different volumes will not give you the same results because the separation conditions are completely different.

What is the Best Way to Scale Up When Different Volumes are Required?

Sometimes companies scale up production in a magnetic separation rack in order to produce large quantities. However, for validation batches or new processes, they may not need to work at the large scale level. In addition, different steps of the process may require different volumes. For example, if you are producing a large ‘mother batch’ of magnetic beads, different portions of that ‘mother lot’ may be used for unique coatings. Another example is when small validation lots of a product need to be produced before launching full scale production of the product.

How the scaling-up of biomagnetic separation process may increase profitability?

The main consumers of magnetic beads are In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) companies who utilize these materials for their kits. Since some of these companies are highly successful, as they obviously need to cope with higher demand for their kits by increasing production in a magnetic separation rack.

What is the Best Way to Scale Up the Separation Time Parameter?

When you decide to scale up your process, one of the most difficult parameters to determine in a non-homogeneous magnetic separation rack is the separation time. In scaled-up non-homogeneous devices, you must use longer separation times in order to gain the same bead yield as a smaller process. However, it is still difficult to determine when the separation is complete.

What are the Safety Issues with Large Magnetic Separation Systems?

When you have systems that have large standard open magnets that can generate stray fields, such as a non-homogeneous magnetic separation rack, the devices can be very dangerous. The magnetic fields generated all around the device and are known to have caused laboratory accidents in the past. Scaling up a process means that the stray fields will increase quickly with the size of the device.

When Scaling Up Biomagnetic Separation, Should You Use Electromagnets or Permanent Magnets?

Working with a magnetic separation rack, at small volumes it is easy to create and use a quadripol electromagnet to generate high forces during biomagnetic separation processes, even to the point of making the process very close to homogeneous. The main advantage to using electromagnets for this type of process is the ability to easily modify the current passing through the magnetic coils, thus modifying the value of the magnetic field and force during the setup of your process.
