BioMag Goat Anti-Rat IgG

BioMag particles are superparamagnetic in that they have no magnetic memory and will readily resuspend if the magnetic force is removed. They have over 90% magnetite content and have a magnetization of 25-35 EMU/g (Electromagnetic Units).

For maximum performance, BioMag particles should be used with one of QIAGEN magnets. Since BioMag particles are so small, they require a strong magnetic field in order to separate them in a timely fashion. The BioMag magnets are rare earth (Neodymium-Iron-Boron) magnets embedded into plastic, with magnetic strengths ranging from 27 megagauss Oersteds to 35 megagauss Oersteds depending on the magnet. Strong magnets from alternative suppliers may also provide a suitable alternative.

BioMag particles are packaged in a distilled water/EDTA solution with 0.08% sodium azide and BSA. BioMag particles has been used in various coupling buffers at pH’s ranging from 5.5 to 8.0. Other than the various buffers used in the coupling procedures, BioMag particles has not been tested in any other organic solvents or at radical pH values. While BioMag particles has been used in a wide variety of conditions, it is suggested that the user determine the suitability of BioMag particles for their particular application.

Yes. BioMag secondary antibody particles can be used with a wide variety of antibodies. They are produced by covalently attaching polyclonal antibodies from various species to BioMag particles. They are available with Anti-Rabbit, Anti-Rat and Anti-Mouse coatings.
