Magnetic Bead Separator Vibrator

When speed is important or when the distance between the far side of the liquid reservoir and the magnet are great,  the V&P Magnetic Bead Separator Vibrator is the answer.  Magnetic beads are separated faster and are held tighter in more compact pellets with the VP 333.

VP 333

The VP 333 works with all our V&P microplate style Magnetic Separators.  The
VP 333 works both on the bench top and on robotic work stations.

The VP 333 consists of a black anodized aluminum Receptor which holds any of our Magnetic Bead Separators, a polypropylene Vibration plate with on and off switch.  The Vibratory plate is suspended on springs above a polycarbonate base plate that has the same dimensions as a microplate so it will set on robotic decks.

The photo on the right illustrates a side view with the Receptor (R),
Vibratory Plate (V), Springs (S) and Base Plate (B).

The photos on the right illustrates a VP 771MB on the VP 333 with a 4 well reservoir on top.   This is a good example of a system where there is great distance between the magnet and the far reaches of the liquid.

When using the VP 333 Vibrator and the VP 771MB Magnet it only required
15 seconds to pellet the beads.

The photos to the right demonstrate bead separation with and without using the vibrator.
