1st BASE Magnetic Rack is designed for fast and efficient magnetic separation of magnetic beads in tube-based workflows, commonly used in nucleic acid extraction applications.

The magnetic rack is supplied with two-component system:

Magnet Rack (Base)

• • Permanent magnet with magnetic field intensity of more than 5500 gauss.

Tube Rack (Top)

• • Removable tube rack.

These components allow the tube rack to be easily detached from the magnetic base which provide conveniency to user. This feature enables direct placement of tubes on a shaker or vortex mixer during extraction procedures, without the need to remove the tubes from the rack.

Performance Review & Comparison Data

Magnetic Rack Performance

Visibility

• • Optimized design ensures high clarity, providing excellent visibility of magnetic bead binding during processing.

Figure 1. The rack designed for multi-angle clarity to ensure consistent observation of magnetic binding during procedures.

Magnetic Binding Time

• • 5-60 seconds (varies by magnetic bead solution), enabling rapid and efficient processing.

Bead Compatibility

• • Compatible with magnetic beads from multiple leading brands

Storage and Stability

• • The magnet, composed of permanent magnets, must be stored in a dry and cool place and should never be used at a temperature above 50^oC.

Cleaning and Maintenance

• • Recommendation:
    • 70% Isopropyl Alcohol
    • 1% Sodium Hypochlorite Solution (bleach)
    • 0.1N HCI solution
  • Spray and wipe only - do not soak or immense into the cleaning solution
  • Avoid prolonged exposure to water or aqueous solution
  • DO NOT autoclave the rack
