Magnetic resins and separators for scaleable recovery of biologics.
Magnetic resins
MAGic bioprocessing provides magnetic agarose-based resins that are used to recover biologics or other biomolecules directly from crude sample mixtures eliminating the need of centrifugation or filtration. Our MAGicBeads are highly porous which provides a large available surface area (50m2/ml) resulting in exceptional high binding capacities, similar to column resins. The beads are also strongly magnetized (40emu/g) and stable due to our proprietary manufacturing method which provides consistent and fast magnetic separation even in large sample volumes (litres).
Magnetic separators
MAGic bioprocessing provides magnetic separators (MAGicSep) that are optimized for easy and efficient capture of the magnetic resin from crude sample mixtures. The standard units are designed for durability with a lacquered plastic shell and nickel plated neodymium magnets placed safely inside. They fit standard test tubes and are available in sizes from 1 ml to liters. The larger custom units are proprietary designed magnetic filters (MAGicSep Process) made for efficient capture of 1-40 liters of magnetic beads from infinite volumes of complex feedstocks.

MAGicBeads mAb
Super-paramagnetic porous beads coupled with an alkali resistant protein A ligand. Optimized for purification of monoclonal antibodies directly from cell culture harvests, thus eliminating centrifugation or filtration, such as from hybridoma or CHO cells, where sanitization of beads with NaOH is desired between the uses. High bindning capacity and fast magnetic response makes the beads suitable for separation even in large-volume samples.
- Recover your mAb and skip centrifugation and filtration to remove cells
- Top performance binding capacity, over 45mg IgG/ml of settled beads
- Ability to clean the beads between the purification cycles using 0.1-0.2M NaOH

Activated beads
Product No.: 1300
MAGicBeads ACT
Surface activated magnetic agarose beads employing our patented coupling chemistry. Any ligand containing amino groups or thiols, e.g. proteins and peptides can be covalently bound to the beads using a simple process. All steps are performed at physiological conditions and room temperature, without using any hazardous reagents or organic solvents. After coupling of the ligand, the magnetic beads can be used for affinity purification and immunoprecipitation.
- Activated magnetic beads for coupling your own ligands of choice
- Simple coupling process at ambient temperature
- Suitable for coupling of ligands containing sulphydryl- or amino groups
- Gives a stable bond between bead and ligand
- High coupling capacity, 10-30mg IgG/ml beads
- Couple 20mg IgG/ml beads with a yield of 90%

DURABLE MAGNETIC SEPARATORS FOR LAB, PILOT AND PROCESS SCALE
The MAGicSep series of laboratory magnetic separators have been optimized for use with MAGicBeads and are ideal for most bioseparation applications. The LAB and PILOT units are designed for durability with a lacquered plastic shell and nickel plated neodymium magnets placed safely inside. The separators fit standard test tubes and are available in sizes from 1 ml to 500 ml. The combination of MAGicBeads and MAGicSep is a simple biomagnetic separation platform that requires no special training to use. The separators require very little maintenance and several batches can be processed in parallel using the same unit, making the running costs very low. The larger custom units are proprietary designed magnetic separators (MAGicSep Process) made for efficient capture of 1-40 liters of magnetic beads from infinite volumes of complex feedstocks.

During the development phase, medium-scale processing of peptides, proteins or antibodies from clarified- or unclarified cell-culture mixtures is performed in sample volumes from 5 ml up to a few liters. The use of the MAGicSep PILOT 50 or MAGicSep PILOT 500 together with 200µl – 30ml of settled MAGicBeads offers a durable, convenient and fast separation platform of up to gram quantities of proteins per each bottle via serial or parallel-process manual configuration.
By combining the different MAGicSep units, low expressed target peptides and proteins can be captured from a large volume and then washed and eluted in a smaller sized vessel, thus achieving a significant product concentration.

During the production phase of biopharmaceuticals, large-scale recovery of the product from an unclarified cell-culture is performed in a one step clarification and purification by using the propietary designed MAGicSep PROCESS units together with the affinity-coupled MAGicBeads. The magnetic filter separators are capable to capture up to 40 liters of MAGicBeads at high flow rates making them suitable to process up to kilo grams of proteins or antibodies per purification cycle.
By utilizing the magnetic-based capture approach, the biopharmaceutical can be recovered directly from the cell-containing culture with the same or better quality as for a conventional 2-step clarification and purification mode using depth filters and column chromatography.
