35 Life Sciences Innovative modules simplify magnetic bead purifi cation workfl ows


Integra Biosciences is excited to announce the launch of its MAG and HEATMAG modules for efficient, automated magnetic bead purification. These innovative solutions allow researchers to streamline several processing steps in molecular biology and proteomics workflows for maximum lab throughput. These time- saving devices are complemented by the COLDPLATE and BIOSHAKE - for precise temperature control and orbital shaking of magnetic beads, respectively - to further streamline protocols.


The MAG and HEATMAG modules are designed to revolutionise the speed and simplicity of magnetic bead purification. They boast exceptionally powerful magnets that automatically move up and down for fast and precise magnetic bead collection, removing the need to manually move plates and tubes to and from the magnet. The magnet height is also adjustable to match the volume requirements, and the modules are fully compatible with various labware formats to offer versatility like never before.


The HEATMAG provides all of these capabilities with the addition of a unique heating element for superior temperature transmission, making it the ideal solution for lysis and elution workflows. Both MAG and HEATMAG can be used as standalone devices, or paired with Integra’s ASSIST PLUS pipetting robot to offer seamless, walk-away magnetic bead purification with total confidence. Alternatively, combine the modules with the MINI 96, VIAFLO 96 or VIAFLO 384 pipetting platforms to process whole plates or multiple tubes simultaneously.


COLDPLATE and BIOSHAKE modules offer automated thermal and shaking control for greater reproducibility. The systems can be combined with the ASSIST PLUS, VIAFLO 96 and VIAFLO 384 platforms for high throughput workflows, or used as standalone plug-and-play modules.


“These top-of-the-range modules are incredibly exciting additions to our offerings for molecular biology and proteomics labs,” said Jan-Peter Baldin, Project Manager at Integra Biosciences. “They make it easier than ever to achieve high quality magnetic bead purification, heating, cooling and shaking with minimal hands-on time, streamlining workflows and boosting productivity.”

The EchoTherm™ Stackable/Programmable Vibration-Free Chilling Incubators from Torrey Pines Scientific are specifically designed for protein crystallography and various life science applications. These incubators are 27-litre capacity and utilise Peltier-based technology for efficient heating and chilling. Distinguished by their absence of compressors or CFCs, coupled with a vibration- free design, they prove to be the ideal solution for protein crystallisations. Additionally, these incubators find utility in a range of applications, including incubating marine samples below room temperature, facilitating enzyme reactions and deactivations, supporting hybridisations, ligations, storing oocytes, and catering to general lab incubations. For enhanced versatility, up to three units can be stacked using two stacker accessories Model IN30-300.


The IN35 model stands out as a fully programmable unit, capable of storing three programs in memory. It features precise temperature ramping both up and down, with temperatures adjustable from 4.0ºC to 70.0ºC, controllable to ± 0.1°C, and boasting an accuracy of ± 0.2ºC. The incubators are equipped with an RS232 I/O port for remote control and data collection, a digital timer in hours, minutes, and seconds, complete with user-settable Auto-Off, and audible alarms to ensure seamless operation. The chamber size measures 12” high by 10” deep by 14” wide and comes with two stainless steel racks with room for four.


These units are shipped with universal power supplies, catering to worldwide usage on local line voltages. The package includes an AC line cord suitable for the country of use, a user manual, and a comprehensive 12-month warranty. Compliance with UL, CSA, and CE standards underscores the commitment to quality and safety.
