Through high-affinity antibodies attached to the surface of magnetic Dynabeads™—known as immunomagnetic separation (IMS) technology—a valuable means to isolate specific biological entities from complex matrices is provided for your work!  Their use in sample preparation greatly improves the speed, sensitivity, and reproducibility of microbial analysis.  Dynabeads™ IMS food products have been designed for both manual and automated separation of the specific target organism.

BeadRetriever™ (discontinued product - replaced by KingFisher™ mL)Bench-top instrument to perform automated Immunomagnetic Separation (IMS). Pre-programmed to run auto-IMS with Dynabeads™ . Protocols provided for the capture of Cryptosporidium, E. coli O157, EPEC/VTEC, Giardia, Legionella, Listeria and Salmonella. Processes 15 1ml test samples in 20 minutes. After auto-IMS, processed samples can be used in any detection method.
KingFisher™ mL Food Protection Purification SystemCarry out rapid purification and concentration of selected targets from a broad range of pre-enriched food samples. Combined with Dynabeads immuno-magnetic separation (IMS) products, the system provides an optimized solution for the purification of microorganisms prior to detection using methods such as PCR, ELISA, and agar plates.
