The Ambion™ 96-well Magnetic-Ring Stand is designed for paramagnetic bead precipitation from standard 96-well U-bottom microplates. The stand has a metal base in a standard SBS 96-well microtiter plate footprint. The use of 96 extremely strong permanent magnetic rings enables fast and easy magnetic separation. With this magnetic stand, paramagnetic beads in a U-bottom plate will pellet in a donut shape ∼ 6 mm in diameter, which enables easy removal of supernatant by a robot or with a multichannel pipettor. It sits flat on a lab bench, as well as in a microtiter plate adapter on robotic workstations.
