Magnetic beads introduction

 

Magnetic Beads

● The magnetic beads we often talk about are suitable for experiments such as immunoprecipitation.

● The magnetic beads we often talk about are suitable for experiments such as immunoprecipitation.

● You can use a magnetic stand for adsorption and complete magnetic bead enrichment in 10 seconds; you can also centrifuge.

Agarose Beads

● It is also called Agarose or Sepharose or Gel . It is what we often call gel or magnetic beads wrapped with agarose gel or filler .

● Generally close to transparent white.

● A centrifuge is required for centrifugal aggregation.

Magnetic Agrose Beads

● That is, agarose magnetic beads, which can be roughly understood as: the outside of the magnetic beads includes agarose gel.

● Generally black in color and with large particle size.

● Protein antibody purification can be performed; immunoprecipitation can also be performed.

● You can use a magnetic stand for adsorption and complete magnetic bead enrichment in 10 seconds; you can also use centrifugation.
