Estapor® Biomagnetic Technology

 

Estapor® Biomagnetic Technology is rapid, simple, reproducible and cost effective for :

  • Immunoassays
  • Nucleic Acid Purification
  • Cell Separation
  • Bacteria Detection

 

Estapor® Super Paramagnetic Microspheres is your choice material :

  • Either for automated or manual detection system.
  • Either for automated or manual quantification system.


Along with its Classical "M" and Encapsulated "EM" microspheres, Estapor® has recently introduced Small and Large Super-paramagnetic Microspheres (patent pending) that perfectly complement its product range.

 

Today, Estapor® Microspheres offer the widest range commercially available of Super-paramagnetic Microspheres in terms of Size, Ferrite content, Surface properties and Density.
