magtivio – Magnetic Beads for Separation of Biomolecules
magtivio designs, develops, and manufactures superparamagnetic and ferrimagnetic silica-enclosed iron-oxide magnetic beads. One benefit of their beads is low magnetic remanence - the remaining magnetization of the beads themselves after a magnetic field has been applied on them. Further features are the ease of resuspension and low sedimentation rates. Terminal functionalized groups can be connected to the silica coating of the beads.
magtivio – Magnetic Sample Preparation Solutions for Life Sciences
magtivio is a producer of magnetic micro- and nanoparticles and complete kits for R&D life sciences and (bio-)analytical processes. They design, develop and manufacture two types of silica enclosed iron oxides magnetic beads:
- Superparamagnetic - Designed in a composite, porous structure. These are easy to resuspend and exhibit low sedimentation rates.
- Ferromagnetic - Manufactured with a relatively dense core-shell structure. This bead type has strong magnetic properties, making it more suited for large volume and viscous samples.
Terminal functionalized groups can be connected to the silica coating of both magnetic bead types.
magtivio’s magnetic beads and kits, available under the brand names MagSi and MagSiMUS, can be used for different modes of selection:
Positive Selection (MagSi)
The classic bind-wash-elute/react principle. Biological molecules are bound to the surface of the beads, contaminants are washed away while the beads are held to a magnet, after which the molecules of interest are eluted from the beads again. The purified, biological molecules (often DNA or RNA) are now ready for downstream processing. Alternatively, this positive selection mode can also be used in e.g., immunoassays.
Negative Selection (Depletion) (MagSiMUS)
Contaminants in the sample are precipitated towards the magnetic beads’ surface, while the biological molecules/analytes of interest remain behind in the supernatant for further analysis.
Applications
Main areas of application include nucleic acid purification, immunoassays and protein analysis. More information can be found in the individual sections below. Their products are suitable for high-throughput utilization. During the Covid pandemic, magtivio produced and delivered beads and kits for more than 180 million RNA extractions, over 4 million per week.
Nucleic Acid Purification
MagSi-DX Pathogen / MagSi-NA Pathogens
CE-IVD marked MagSi-DX Pathogen is intended to be used for the isolation and purification of viral RNA for subsequent in-vitro diagnostic purposes. The kit has been specifically validated for SARS-CoV-2 diagnostic workflows.
RUO version MagSi-NA Pathogens allows for the cost-effective extraction of DNA and RNA from a variety of sample materials like serum, plasma, oropharyngeal or nasopharyngeal swab, or any other respiratory samples. Purified total nucleic acids can be used for qPCR based or any other enzymatic pathogen detection method.

MagSi-NA Pathogens MSP
Classic sample pooling will still dilute your samples and therefore cause less sensitive and false negative results. Our solution, Magnetic Sample Pooling (MSP) does not only save reagents, but maintains your test sensitivity as it pools in a sequential and non-dilutive manner.

MagSi-DNA Plant CLS
The MagSi-DNA Plant CLS kit allows fast and cost-effective extraction of DNA from any plant tissue type. CLS stands for Cotyl, Leaf and Seed, which are the most commonly used sample types in plant breeding.

MagSi-DNA Body Fluid
For fast and cost-effective extraction of genomic DNA from blood, saliva or swab samples. The magnetic bead-based kit can be used on fresh or frozen whole blood, fresh or preserved saliva samples or swab wash solutions.
Leaflet
MagSi-DNA Animal
MagSi-DNA Animal allows for fast and cost-effective extraction of DNA from various veterinary samples like blood, semen, hairs, saliva/swabs or lysed tissue.

MagSi-DNA Beads
MagSi-DNA beads can be used as a solid phase support in DNA extraction and purification protocols by using a simple bind/wash/elute principle. They are intended for own development of protocols and available with a range of physical properties and a silica or carboxyl modified surface. The new MagSi-DNA mf and MagSi-DNA mf COOH bead types are the new gold standard in many DNA extraction kits.

Research Tools
Surface-Activated Magnetic Beads
MagSi-Tools are surface activated magnetic beads for immobilization of proteins (antibodies, enzymes), peptides, nucleic acids or other molecules of interest. Different surface modifications allow for choosing the optimal product for the right molecule to be coupled, and for the intended application. The MagSi platform has a broad range of functionalization possibilities such as COOH, NH2, SH, CHO, tosyl, hydrazide and epoxy. MagSi-Tools products are available with 600 nm, 1.0 µm or 3.0 µm mean diameter.
SafeQ – Solutions for Sample Collection, Storage and Release
SafeQ Saliva Collection Kit
Fast and timely detection of coronavirus infection could prevent the closure of your company or institution. Detection of coronavirus is currently mainly done with nasopharyngeal swabs. These can be unpleasant or painful. In addition, medical personnel are required for taking the swab sample. A saliva test addresses these shortcomings by being painless and simple to perform. Moreover, many studies show the suitability of saliva for the detection of SARS-CoV-2 when performed on a regular basis (once or twice a week).
Repetitive saliva testing can help identify people who spread the virus but don’t show any symptoms. The technique is therefore complementary to existing testing strategies and can be used as a third wall of defense to keep companies and organizations open. SafeQ Saliva Collection Kit with its special inactivation and preservation buffer also overcomes a common challenge: SARS-CoV-2 infection of lab operators when handling patients’ samples.
