0.2 ml Magnetic Rack: A Practical Tool for Small-Volume Separation

What Is a 0.2 ml Magnetic Rack?
A 0.2 ml magnetic rack is a specialized lab device designed to hold 0.2 ml PCR tubes or PCR strip tubes during magnetic bead-based separation processes. It enables efficient magnetic separation in ultra-low volume samples commonly used in molecular biology, genetic testing, and PCR workflows.

Key Features

• Designed for 0.2 ml individual tubes or 8-strip PCR tubes

• Ideal for small reaction volumes and PCR cleanup

• High-strength neodymium magnets ensure tight pellet formation

• Compact and lightweight for benchtop use

• Compatible with major tube brands (Eppendorf, Thermo, Axygen, etc.)

Typical Applications

1. PCR product purification

2. DNA/RNA cleanup from small-volume samples

3. Magnetic bead-based immunoprecipitation

4. Enzyme reaction clean-up in low volume

5. NGS sample prep and PCR strip workflows

How It Works

1. Insert 0.2 ml tubes or PCR strips into the rack

2. Add magnetic beads and buffer to the sample

3. The magnetic field pulls the beads to the tube wall

4. Supernatant is easily removed, leaving bound material isolated

5. Perform washing or elution as needed

FAQ
Q: Can I use this rack with 1.5 ml tubes?
A: No, it is specifically designed for 0.2 ml tubes or strips.

Q: Is this compatible with 8-strip PCR tubes?
A: Yes, most models support full strips of 8 tubes.

Q: Can I sterilize the rack?
A: Aluminum versions may be autoclaved. Plastic versions are not typically autoclavable.
