Manufacturer: Opentrons
SKU: 999-00204
Description
The Opentrons Flex Magnetic Block GEN1 is a specialized accessory designed for magnetic separation workflows. This unpowered module features a spring-loaded bed with 96 integrated neodymium ring magnets, engineered to generate a strong magnetic field for retaining magnetic beads within standard well plates. It is intended for use with the Opentrons Flex robotic platform and its gripper module. The block facilitates key steps in magnetic bead-based protocols, such as nucleic acid extraction and protein purification, by holding particles in place during wash and elution steps. It is compatible with various labware, including Opentrons Tough PCR Plates and NEST Deep Well Plates, and supports protocol volumes ranging from 10 µL to 2 mL. With dimensions of 136 mm x 94 mm x 45 mm (WxDxH), it is a compact tool for automating purification processes.
