Yes. Whilst most commercial magnetic racks are compatible with AurosphereTM Silica beads. Magnostics developed custom magnetic separators for 96-well plates: the M96S-1 separator for classic 96-well plates and the M96D-400 96-deep-well plates.

Aurosphere Silica beads are compatible with most mixing techniques, including vortexing and sonication. In particular, for optimal dispersion before use, short sonication (via ultrasonic bath or probe) is recommended. Always ensure a fully resuspended and homogenous bead suspension throughout all steps.

In principle, Aurosphere Silica beads should be compatible with most sample
types. Careful optimization of buffers and extraction procedures might be required for optimal results.

The optimal amount of beads depends on the sample type and DNA content. Always ensure complete magnetic collection of the beads on the magnet during the binding, washing and elution steps, to maximize yield and avoid carry over into downstream applications.

Yes. Aurosphere Silica beads should be compatible with automation. When developing automated workflows, ensure beads remain in suspension throughout the process to maintain consistency and optimal performance.
