With a suite of magnetic carriers, Blue®Washer dramatically reduces run time and tip waste for magnetic bead assays. Different types of assays can easily be migrated to the Blue®Washer platform. Applications include DNA extraction, AMPure cleanup - library preparation for NGS / Sanger sequencing and protein assays (e.g. Luminex® / SIMOA® type assays). Magnetic Blue®Carriers retain beads during centrifugal evacuation, eliminating costly and time-consuming liquid removal by automated liquid handlers. Leading clinical diagnostics labs, pharmaceutical companies and academics labs are speeding up their mag bead separation steps, avoiding tip waste while dramatically reducing cost.

Blue®Washer co-enables >100x digital ELISA sensitivity increase with zero magnetic bead loss from wash steps
Cheuk W. Kan et. al. (Quanterix Corp. and Sagentia Ltd.) show how reducing bead loss from 30% to zero with Centrifugal Bead Separation using the Blue® Washer helped enable sub-attomolar detection limits based on low numbers of capture beads combined with high efficiency bead analysis.
