The DynaMag™-2 magnet is optimized for efficient magnetic separation of all types of Dynabeads™ (range 1–4.5 μm in diameter) in small (less than 2 mL) sample volumes. The DynaMag™-2 magnet combines a strong magnetic attraction for efficient separations in standard microcentrifuge tubes with a flexible and smart ergonomic design.

• Optimal working volume: 10–2,000 μL
• Holds up to 16 standard 1.5–2 mL microcentrifuge tubes in numbered spaces
• Good control and visibility of your sample
• Top rack can be quickly removed from the magnet in the base, ready for resuspension, vortexing, rotation, or manual sample shaking

Flexible and ergonomic design
The magnet can be used with all types of Dynabeads™ for efficient isolation of proteins and nucleic acids. The sample rack can be easily removed from the base magnet for resuspension, vortexing, rotation, or manual sample shaking. A center pin in the rack ensures equal vortexing of all tubes. The rack can also be removed and used to store tubes. The 16 numbered sample spaces make this magnet ideal for parallel handling of multiple samples. With 8 tube positions on each side of the rack you can easily scale your protocols to accommodate 96-well plate reactions.

Product notes
• This magnet is not compatible with the MX4 Mixer
• The removable sample rack is also available as a separate item (Cat. No. 123-22D). Purchasing an additional sample rack minimizes the need to move tubes between racks. The rack can be placed on the bench, in the refrigerator, or in the incubator.

Frequently asked questions (FAQs)

What are the Gauss levels for the DynaMag-2 and DynaMag-Spin Magnets?

The DynaMag-2 Magnet is 3,500-3,700 minimum Gauss level and the DynaMag-Spin is 3,000-3,500 minimum Gauss level.

Find additional tips, troubleshooting help, and resources within our Protein Assays and Analysis Support Center.

What is the standard conversion of Gauss to Tesla units?

1 Tesla is equivalent to 10,000 Gauss. .

How can I clean my DynaMag magnet?

Spray and/or wipe the DynaMag magnet unit with one of the following cleaning agents:

- 70% (v/v) isopropyl alcohol
- 1% (v/v) sodium hypochlorite solution (bleach)
- 0.1 N HCl solution

Do not submerge the magnet unit in aqueous solutions and avoid prolonged exposure to water or aqueous solutions. Clean with a damp cloth and mild detergent when exposed to harsh solvents. Do not autoclave the magnet unit as heating the magnet to above 70 degrees C can destabilize the magnetic material, resulting in loss of magnetic strength.

What is the difference between the DynaMag-2 Magnet (Cat. No. 12321D) and DynaMag-Spin Magnet (Cat. No. 12320D)?

The DynaMag-2 Magnet can hold 16 standard 1.5 mL or 2 mL microcentrifuge tubes, while the DynaMag-Spin Magnet holds up to 6 standard 1.5 mL microcentrifuge tubes.

What is the definition of superparamagnetic, and what does this mean for my cell isolation application with Dynabeads magnetic beads?

Superparamagnetic means that the Dynabeads magnetic beads exhibit magnetic properties when placed within a magnetic field, but have no residual magnetism when removed from the magnetic field.

This means that your targeted cells, proteins, or nucleic acids are only subjected to magnetic forces during the time the beads are on the magnet. The beads do not aggregate, but remain evenly dispersed in suspension.
