Invitrogen™ DynaMag™-2 Magnet
Description
Includes
One DynaMag-2 magnet
The DynaMag-2 magnet combines a strong magnetic attraction for efficient separations in standard microcentrifuge tubes with a flexible and smart ergonomic design.
- Optimal working volume: 10–2000 μL
- Holds up to 16 standard 1.5–2 mL microcentrifuge tubes in numbered spaces
- Good control and visibility of sample
- Top rack can be quickly removed from magnet in base, ready for resuspension, vortexing, rotation, or manual sample shaking
- Magnet can be used with all types of Dynabeads for efficient isolation of proteins and nucleic acids
- Sample rack can be easily removed from base magnet for resuspension, vortexing, rotation or manual sample shaking
- Center pin in rack ensures equal vortexing of all tubes
- Rack can also be removed and used to store tubes
- 16 numbered sample spaces make magnet for parallel handling of multiple samples
- With eight tube positions on each side of rack, easily scale protocols to accommodate 96-well plate reactions
This magnet is not compatible with the MX4 Mixer. The removable sample rack is also available as a separate item. Purchasing an additional sample rack minimizes the need to move tubes between racks. The rack can be placed on the bench, in the refrigerator, or in the incubator.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
The DynaMag-2 Magnet is 3,500-3,700 minimum Gauss level and the DynaMag-Spin is 3,000-3,500 minimum Gauss level.
1 Tesla is equivalent to 10,000 Gauss. .
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.
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.
Superparamagnetic means that the Dynabeads magnetic beads exhibit magnetic properties when placed within a magnetic field, but have no residual magnetism when removed from the magnetic field.
This means that your targeted cells, proteins, or nucleic acids are only subjected to magnetic forces during the time the beads are on the magnet. The beads do not aggregate, but remain evenly dispersed in suspension.
