Magnetic bead separation is a fast, effective, and clean process that scientists use as an alternative to filtration and centrifugation techniques for separation. Magnetic beads and particles can be ...

Traditional magnetic separators, however, present a challenge: they generate a magnetic force that is very high near the side of the vessel closest to the magnet and decreases rapidly with distance.

Newton, Kansas-based Bunting, which manufactures several varieties of rotary magnetic separators, says these devices are designed with either an axial or radial magnetic field based on a customer’s ...
