The DynaMag™-5 Magnet is intended for use with Dynabeads™ for the immunomagnetic separation of cells. The DynaMag™-5 magnet accommodates tubes from 11–16 mm in diameter (e.g., flow cytometry tubes and most blood collection tubes), with an optimal working volume of 1–5 mL. The magnet holds 8 tubes and is compatible with all Dynabeads™ (1–4.5 μM in diameter).

When performing cell separation using Dynabeads™, a DynaMag™ magnet is required. Different magnets are optimized for different working volumes and tube sizes. See our complete overview of the DynaMag™ magnets.

The DynaMag™-5 magnet contains the highest magnetic material available on the market, and thus separates any Dynabeads™ quickly, efficiently, and consistently. The DynaMag™-5 magnet is small, easy to handle, and helps ensure efficient separation of up to 8 cell samples simultaneously.

The included SampleRack has numbered positions (1 to 8) for easy control of your samples and a design that ensures good sample visibility when placed on the magnet base. The flexible clips that hold the tubes in place allow the magnet to accommodate many different tube sizes. The SampleRack is a separate unit that can be taken off the magnet base to facilitate vortexing, washing, or resuspension. Additional SampleRacks can be purchased separately.

Note: The DynaMag™-5 magnet should not be used with standard 15 mL tubes; for this purpose use the DynaMag™-15 magnet.

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.
