Magnetic separation equipment reduces ferrous metal contamination. Q. We have fine ferrous metal contamination in our pharmaceutical product, a free-flowing powder, even though we have a magnet. How ...

Understanding the process and anticipating the problems can help ensure successful separations. The use of magnetic beads for capturing biological molecules has become commonplace in the life sciences ...

Magnetic separation systems began appearing in scrap yards after World War II when heavy duty shredders used for grinding automobiles started to pop up across the United States. The early magnetic ...

Magnetic bead separation is widely used in the life sciences field. From cell sorting to molecular diagnostics, this technology can be used with a wide range of volumes, from a few nanoliters in ...

The description of an eddy current separator (ECS) sounds like the wrong answer to a science quiz: How can it use magnets to repel, rather than attract? And how can it affect nonmagnetic metals like ...

MIT engineers have come up with a method of extracting clean water and reusable oil from oil spills using nanoparticles that turn the oil into magnetic ferrofluids. When oil spills occur, the polluted ...
