MTC BIO · R0250 · CONICAL-TUBE MAGNETIC SEPARATION

Keep larger-volume bead workflows in conical tubes.

Use the MTC Bio R0250 as a dedicated magnetic separation station for sample preparation, purification and nucleic acid isolation in 15 mL and 50 mL conical tubes. Its open metal frame gives you access to tubes and a clear view of the magnetic collection area.

Three 15 mL positions and three 50 mL positions. The two tube sizes sit on opposite faces of the central support, with both sets able to remain upright. One rack supports both formats; tubes, beads and reagents are selected separately.

Two conical-tube sizes, one organized separation station

3 × 15 mL + 3 × 50 mL

Six tube positions across opposite faces of the same central support, not three positions shared between two sizes.

Open access

Insert and remove individual tubes while keeping the remaining samples organized on the bench.

Reusable metal frame

A dedicated rack for repeated manual magnetic bead separation steps. One R0250 per order.

15 mL tubes: keep the smaller conical workflow together

Use the three 15 mL positions when the method calls for this conical-tube format. The open frame lets you inspect tube seating and locate the bead deposit before removing supernatant.

Nominal tube capacity is not a working-volume recommendation. Establish the fill volume and aspiration position with your actual tube, sample and bead chemistry.

50 mL tubes: a separate face for the larger format

The other face provides three positions for 50 mL conical tubes. It is part of the same rack, so choosing the 15 mL face does not remove the three 50 mL positions.

Both sets of positions can hold tubes upright. Keep the rack stable on the bench and load each tube into the position intended for its size. Do not turn over a loaded rack.

See the collection area before you aspirate

The close-up shows the tube beside the rack’s central magnetic support. During separation, magnetically responsive particles collect toward the magnetic field, leaving liquid that can be removed according to your protocol.

Let the beads collect, then position the pipette away from the deposit. A visible bead deposit does not by itself establish purity, yield or completion of the entire extraction method.

Read “reversible” as two useful faces, not a three-tube limit

MTC Bio describes R0250 as reversible and specifies 3 × 15 mL and 3 × 50 mL positions. These manufacturer views show the two conical-tube faces. They are views of one model, not a two-rack package.

For day-to-day work, identify the correct face by tube size and maintain an upright, stable setup. Unlike R0215, this listing does not prescribe flipping the rack to change formats.

A practical conical-tube bead workflow

1 · Prepare and place

Add sample and beads according to the reagent method. Seat each tube upright in its matching 15 mL or 50 mL position.

2 · Collect and wash

Allow bead collection, remove liquid without disturbing the deposit, and perform the specified wash sequence.

3 · Resuspend and recover

Remove the individual tube from the magnetic field for mixing when instructed. Return it for subsequent separation steps.

Use a trial setup to confirm fit, collection behavior and aspiration technique before processing valuable samples. R0250 separates magnetic particles; it does not centrifuge, mix or automate liquid handling.

Choose the format before choosing consumables

R0250 · This conical-tube model

Three 15 mL positions and three 50 mL positions on opposite faces of a central support. One rack, with both tube sizes upright.

R0215 · Microtubes or PCR tubes

Alternative format: R0215 reversible tube rack. Eight 1.5/2.0 mL microtubes or sixteen 0.1/0.2 mL PCR tubes; removable magnet sleeve and height rings.

R0096 · Plate workflows

Alternative format: R0096 96-well separator. For PCR, assay, deep-well and elution plates; verify the selected plate geometry.

Select conical tubes for your method

Related workflow: MTC Bio centrifuge tubes include 15 mL and 50 mL choices. Select the correct size and verify the exact tube’s fit; other capacities in that collection are not R0250 compatibility claims.

Related workflow: MTC Bio SpectraTube rainbow-cap centrifuge tubes offer 15 mL and 50 mL formats for color-organized sample handling. Confirm tube seating and your laboratory’s identification requirements before use.

Frequently asked questions

Is MTC Bio R0250 an alternative to the Invitrogen DynaMag-50 magnet?

R0250 is a format-level option to evaluate for conical-tube magnetic bead separation, not a verified drop-in replacement. Thermo Fisher specifies its Invitrogen DynaMag-50 for two 50 mL tubes and Dynabeads cell-isolation workflows. MTC Bio specifies R0250 for three 15 mL tubes and three 50 mL tubes on opposite faces of one support. Compare your tube geometry, bead chemistry and working volume, then verify the method before switching. Invitrogen, DynaMag and Dynabeads are trademarks of their respective owners. Blue Tiger Scientific is not affiliated with or endorsed by those brands.

Does R0250 hold three tubes total, or three of each size?

It has six positions: three for 15 mL conical tubes and three for 50 mL conical tubes on opposite faces of the central support. Both sets can stand upright. It is not a three-position rack limited to either 15 mL or 50 mL tubes, and you do not need to invert a loaded rack to access the other face.

Are the tubes and blue liquid shown in the photos included?

No. The ordering unit is one R0250 magnetic separation rack. Conical tubes, magnetic beads, reagents and samples are not included. The manufacturer photographs illustrate tube placement and magnetic separation, not the contents of the supplied package.

Will every 15 mL or 50 mL conical tube fit R0250?

Do not assume universal fit from nominal capacity alone. R0250 is specified for 15 mL and 50 mL conical tubes; check the selected tube’s body, shoulder, cap clearance and seating against the rack before running valuable samples. Other nominal sizes and non-conical tubes are not established as compatible.

Can I use R0250 for microtubes, PCR strips or 96-well plates?

Those are different rack formats. Choose R0215 for eight 1.5/2.0 mL microtubes or sixteen 0.1/0.2 mL PCR tubes, and R0096 for 96-well plates. R0250 is the conical-tube model; adapters for those smaller formats are not included or specified here.

How long does magnetic separation take on R0250?

There is no universal separation time or recovery guarantee. Follow the bead-kit protocol and confirm that the beads have collected before aspirating. Sample viscosity, bead chemistry, working volume and tube geometry can change the collection pattern and the time required.

Does R0250 include the removable magnet sleeve and height rings?

No R0250-specific sleeve or height-adjustment rings are listed in the manufacturer’s ordering information. Those features belong to R0215. Do not transfer R0215 magnet strength, dimensions or operating instructions to R0250.

How should I resuspend beads during an R0250 workflow?

When your method calls for resuspension, take the individual tube out of the magnetic field and mix as directed by the bead-kit supplier. Return it upright to the correct-size position for the next magnetic step. Keep the rack stable and avoid disturbing the bead deposit while removing supernatant.
