Laboratories & workflow teams
Start with the vessels, magnetic beads and separation steps you already use. Describe where an existing format needs to fit your handling or sample-processing workflow.
Your workflow.
Engineered
to fit.
Magnetic separation designed around your sample, equipment and process. We bring capacity, magnetic field, mechanical design and automation requirements into one engineering direction.
Custom development
around your process.
Tube racks, magnetic plate separators and large-volume equipment can be discussed around your existing labware, magnetic bead system and installation requirements.
Reagent manufacturers
Discuss a magnetic rack or plate format around your consumables and bead system. Product dimensions, magnet layout and branding can be considered together as part of an OEM project.
Instrument development teams
Bring the mounting space, labware format and equipment interfaces into the discussion. Mechanical fit and automation requirements need to be reviewed alongside the magnetic separation step.

Engineering capabilities
Review capacity, magnetic circuit, structure and automation together.
Capacity &
format fit
Fit the bead size, consumable, vessel and working volume to the separation workflow you need.
Browse existing equipmentSpecify the vessel you actually use
Nominal vessel capacity and actual working volume are separate inputs. An outer diameter and bottom-profile description help establish the fit more clearly than a volume label alone.
- Identify the tube, microplate or larger vessel format.
- Share its dimensions, shape and number of sample positions.
- Describe the magnetic beads, sample system and separation steps.
Magnetic field
simulation
Use 3D magnetic-circuit simulation to refine field gradients, attraction and potential dead zones.
Review the proposed magnetic circuit
The magnetic layout needs to be considered together with vessel geometry and the sample-processing requirements. Simulation provides a way to review that engineering direction.
- Field distribution and gradients around the proposed geometry.
- Attraction and potential dead zones relevant to the separation direction.
- The relationship between the magnetic circuit and mechanical structure.
- Field strength
- Field gradient
- Magnetic attraction
Technical details & useful inputs
Useful inputs
Consumable dimensions, actual working volume, magnetic bead information and a description of the separation steps.
Equipment-specific
structure
Develop the structure around your equipment envelope, then carry the direction from prototype review toward production.
Fit the structure to the equipment
Start from the consumable and the space available in the instrument. Structural dimensions and mounting conditions should be defined around the actual installation and handling needs.
- Vessel or separation-column fit and position layout.
- Mounting points, footprint and surrounding clearance.
- Access for sample handling and equipment connections.
- Vessel positioning
- Motion clearance
- Mounting interfaces
Technical details & useful inputs
Useful inputs
Dimensioned drawings where available, photographs of the installation area, labware information and the intended mounting arrangement.
ML1-D structure reference
The four-position design illustrates how column positions can be organized in one structure. Column format and loading conditions must follow the selected labware and reagent instructions.

modules
Reserve standard communication interfaces and customize the module hardware or software logic for integration.
Review the integration as a whole
Module integration involves the surrounding labware, mounting structure and equipment control. Where relevant, the magnetic separation step also needs to be discussed alongside instrument fluidics.
- Installation space, mounting interface and column or vessel format.
- Communication requirements and the equipment control sequence.
- Hardware configuration and software logic relevant to the workflow.
- 1. Process & interfaces: Define operations and connections
- 2. Module hardware design: Mechanics · PCB · actuation
- 3. Communication & control: Connect signals and coordinate timing
- 4. Equipment integration: Coordinate modules with equipment
Technical details & useful inputs
Useful inputs
An equipment overview, interface information, the intended sequence of operation and relevant labware or fluidics requirements.
Magnet cu01 module reference
This cell-separation module is configured around separation columns and instrument mounting requirements. Interfaces, installation space and column format need to be verified before integration.

Frequently asked questions
Questions about getting started.
What information should I provide for a custom project?
Please provide the following requirements:
- Container & format
- Magnetic beads
- Process
- Automation interface
- Brand requirements
Which aspects of the product can we discuss customizing?
Capacity & format fit: Fit the bead size, consumable, vessel and working volume to the separation workflow you need.
Magnetic field simulation: Use 3D magnetic-circuit simulation to refine field gradients, attraction and potential dead zones.
Equipment-specific structure: Develop the structure around your equipment envelope, then carry the direction from prototype review toward production.
Automation-ready modules: Reserve standard communication interfaces and customize the module hardware or software logic for integration.
How does the custom engineering discussion work?

Define: Align on an engineering direction.
Discuss: Continue with the project requirement.
View the discussion stepsCan a custom project start from our existing labware?
Existing labware is a useful starting point. Share the tube, plate, vessel or column format together with dimensions and the actual working volume. The magnetic bead system and workflow are also needed to review the fit.
Can we start a discussion without complete drawings?
Start by describing the workflow and providing the information you have. Consumable names, measured dimensions and photographs can explain the initial requirement. Drawings and interface details can be clarified during the discussion.
How do we choose between an existing format and custom development?
Compare the published labware and configuration information with your workflow. If vessel geometry, mounting conditions or integration requirements differ, share those differences for review. An existing product reference helps define the starting point; it does not establish compatibility by itself.
What information is needed for automation integration?
Provide the equipment envelope, mounting arrangement, intended labware, interfaces and sequence of operation. Include fluidics or separation-column information where relevant. Hardware and software requirements are reviewed together with the separation workflow.
Can branding be included in an OEM discussion?
Branding is one of the project inputs. Share the logo, label content, naming and placement requirements alongside the labware and engineering needs so that they can be considered when establishing the specification.
