New: Kenny, the magnetic separation rack for six 2 ml tubes!

The position of the magnets can be customized.

But even in the lowest position, the super-strong magnets are able to pull beads out of a full 2 ml tube (time-lapse vid 90 sec).

labs on a budget: check prices here. small business 3d printed stuff. really good value and well made. we use them! conflict of interest I do know the creator (it's not me or my group!) but they didn't tell me to post this!
You do bead cleanups with a low elution volume but do not have a suitable magnetic rack?
Every product we offer is fully customizable! E.g. our rack for small tubes, where the magnets are positioned very low, so small volumes (here: 5 µL) are no problem!
