M-Beads Direct - Magnetic Beads to Couple the Biological Molecule of Your Choice!

GÖTTINGEN, Germany - June 6, 2016 - PRLog -- M-Beads Direct includes easy-to-use magnetic silica beads and coating solutions enabling the immobilization of a specific biological molecule to a magnetic support.

Many magnetic bead-based assays and specific capture beads are prepared by immobilization of biological molecules with expensive reagents like carbodiimide (EDC/NHS coupling). M-Beads Direct includes easy-to-use magnetic M-Beads and coating solutions enabling the immobilization of your specific biological molecule to a magnetic support. M-Beads Direct offers shorter and easier preparation processes and reduces the risk of errors.

The coating of M-Beads Direct acts as a nanoglue, using non-specific electron donation from electron-rich groups of the target biomolecule, including -COOH, -CONH-, -NH₂, -NHR-, -NR₂, -OH, -SH, or -X.

As a result, M-Beads Direct allows coupling of a wide variety of medium to large biological molecules, ranging from proteins such as antibodies, cell receptor proteins, lectins, peptide aptamers, and enzymes to non-protein molecules.

With M-Beads Direct it is possible to turn ANY molecule that interacts with a specific partner into a powerful new biomagnetic reagent. Just magnetize the target molecule to unleash the power of magnetic bead technology in your research or project.

M-Beads Direct can be used in many applications:

Diagnostics

• Capture or purify any analyte using magnetic beads
• Develop quantative magnetic affinity assays

Cell Therapy Research

• Use your own cell-specific ligands to isolate cells of interest
• Isolate or concentrate minority cell populations gently and efficiently

Flow Cytometry

• Remove interfering cell populations prior to flow analysis
• Attach your cell-specific ligand to M-Beads Direct and use it to pull out the interfering cells with a magnet
• Enhance FACS capabilities - add magnetic cell depletion or concentration steps before or after running a sort

Protein Chemistry

• Purify delicate proteins or complexes with ease
• Avoid complex chromatographic separations

Product Variants:

M-Beads Direct 1.0

• With a mean diameter of 1.0 µm, M-Beads Direct 1.0 is especially suitable for immunoassays and capture reactions in volumes ≤ 1000 µl.

M-Beads Direct 3.0

• With a mean diameter of 3.0 µm, M-Beads Direct 3.0 is especially suitable for cell capture applications and capture reactions in high volumes or viscous samples.
