Magnetic particles have become a mainstay of bio-separation procedures in medical and scientific laboratories around the world. Now there is a great new information resource about magnetic beads available from one of the leading innovators in the field, Bangs Laboratories.
Leading the way is BeadBits, a new mini- (or should we say µ-…) newsletter that delivers useful technical and scientific content such as application notes, protocols and articles. Beyond the newsletter, however, is a wealth of technical resources about magnetic beads, also the devices created to handle them, that the company has assembled in an easily accessible format online.
As to be expected, the content has an emphasis on the product offerings from Bangs Labs such as its growing array of Magnefy magnetic beads yet, overall, it is an unusually rich resource on the subject. It is a veritable technical library on the science and application of magnetic particles.
A few highlights:
• Magnetic Particles Selection Guide with Assay & Applications Supplement chart
• Magnetic Particles for NGS product bulletin
•Magnefy Magnetic Bead Product Data Sheet with new Concanavalin A, Streptavidin, and Mach I offerings
Based in Fishers, Indiana, Bangs Laboratories is a company of Ott Scientific. The many magnetic particle products from Bangs address a wide range of applications in the life sciences including cell isolations, affinity purifications, immunoassays, molecular assays.
Another company in the Ott family of companies is Polysciences, headquartered in Warrington, Pennsylvania, which also has magnetic bead products for separations.
To access the complete collection of resources from Bangs, check out the new magnetic particles resource page or the full technical library, and catch the BeadBits newsletter, at www.bangslab.com.
