Product overview

A closer look at
the Mag-CTS.

The CarbonLinkAI Mag-CTS Magnetic Separator for Closed Cell Processing Bags works with compatible blood bags or cell culture bags for magnetic cell separation or bead removal in closed-bag systems. Follow the corresponding reagent and process protocol to retain magnetic components in the magnetic field region and transfer the required liquid fraction. Closed-system integrity and aseptic operating conditions depend on the associated labware, connections, and actual process.

Benchtop Enclosed Aseptic Magnetic Separator

Carbonlinkai – Global Expert in Magnetic Bead Separation Rack Customization & OEM

Providing cost-effective alternatives to classic imported magnetic bead separation racks, making your experiments more efficient.

These pioneers have already entrusted their magnetic separation work to Carbonlinkai:

Vazyme · BGI · MGI · CWBIO · Yeasen · Livzon

Tsinghua University · The University of Hong Kong · Peking Union Medical College Hospital · Novogene · Quanterix

The consistent choice of these outstanding partners is a solid testament to the professional expertise of the magnetic bead separation rack brand, Carbonlinkai.

Carbonlinkai CTS Benchtop Enclosed Aseptic Magnetic Separator

A magnetic bead separation rack that truly understands your experimental pain points, arriving at your bench with four “Truly” strengths.

Truly Uniform

Each magnetic rod is individually magnetized, delivering excellent magnetic consistency across the entire rack. Minimal batch-to-batch variation and more stable well-to-well results ensure highly reproducible capture every time.

Truly Fast

Response within seconds. Magnetic beads adhere tightly to the tube wall without dispersing. The supernatant is clear and easy to recover, reducing target loss and making your workflow smooth and effortless.

Truly Durable

The housing is impact-resistant, withstands common chemical reagents, and can be repeatedly disinfected at high temperatures. Some materials even support autoclave sterilization, so the rack stays clean and sterile through frequent use without worries.

Truly a Cost-Effective Alternative

Performance is fully benchmarked against imported DynaMag™-class magnetic bead separation racks, with no compromises in capture efficiency or size compatibility, while the investment cost is significantly reduced — genuinely lightening the load on research budgets.

This is the reward of Carbonlinkai’s commitment to independent R&D as a magnetic bead separation rack manufacturer: no premium for over-engineering, only reliable magnetic circuit design and quality control, making global top tier brand alternative a dependable choice.

In what scenarios would you need it?

  1. Basic Application Scenarios

Magnetic cell separation in closed aseptic systems

Used with commercial sterile blood bags, cell culture bags, and tubing connectors to separate magnetically labeled cells in a fully closed aseptic environment, avoiding cell contamination. Suitable for cell therapy manufacturing workflows.

Flexible volume processing

Static separation: 50–500 mL small-volume samples;

Continuous separation: after T cell expansion, can handle large-volume samples greater than 10 L, meeting needs from bench-scale experiments to scaled-up production.

  1. Specific Experimental / Production Scenarios

Immune cell preparation (core application)

Positive enrichment of CD3+ T cells;

Stimulation and expansion of T cells using CD3/CD28 magnetic beads, and subsequent removal of residual beads from cells;

Negative depletion of unwanted cells to purify target cell populations, for CAR-T and other cell immunotherapy research and manufacturing.

Cell and gene therapy (CGT) product manufacturing

Used in research experiments or for industrial aseptic production of cell products, gene products, and tissue-based biologics — a dedicated device for upstream cell separation in cell therapy.

Magnetic bead-based workflows

Perform positive selection of target cells or removal of unwanted cells entirely within closed culture bags, complying with aseptic cell preparation standards.

It is primarily used in the cell therapy industry for large-scale magnetic bead-based separation of T lymphocytes in sterile closed blood bags/culture bags. It handles small-scale experiments from tens to hundreds of milliliters and can scale up to continuous production of over ten liters.

More Than a Standalone Product, It’s Your Customization Partner

We understand that different processes envision different magnetic bead separation racks.

As a magnetic bead separation rack manufacturer, Carbonlinkai offers flexible OEM/ODM customization starting from 50 units:

Well layout, housing color, nameplate branding, and packaging form can all be tailored to your needs.

Whether you are a startup team conducting small-batch pilot production or a large platform iterating on proprietary tools, Carbonlinkai, the magnetic bead separation rack brand, is the partner you can trust with your designs.

Choosing the Benchtop Enclosed Aseptic Magnetic Separator means choosing a mature, pragmatic, and efficient magnetic separation support.

Carbonlinkai — Global Expert in Magnetic Rack Customization and OEM Manufacturing

Engineering & manufacturing

Carbonlinkai specializes in the development and manufacturing of magnetic racks, magnetic plate separators, and biomagnetic separation equipment for life science laboratories, reagent manufacturers, and instrument developers worldwide. Carbonlinkai combine application-focused engineering with the flexibility of working directly with our engineering and manufacturing team. Alongside an established range of cost-effective standard products, Carbonlinkai offer small-batch customization and OEM services. Our customers include major life science and pharmaceutical companies across 25 countries.

Magnetic field engineering

Reliable magnetic separation starts with the right magnetic field. Our engineering combines three-dimensional magnetic circuit simulation, magnet array design, and structural optimization to create uniform, powerful magnetic fields. By considering magnetic bead properties, sample viscosity, vessel geometry, and working volume, Carbonlinkai help customers select or develop magnetic separation products suited to their processes.

Built around your application

Custom development is our core business. Our products range from magnetic racks for individual sample tubes, microplates, and large-volume vessels to automated magnetic separation systems. Carbonlinkai can tailor magnet configurations, holder layouts, vessel spacing, materials, and mounting interfaces. Whether you need a standard product, modifications to reduce the cost of an existing design, or an instrument-specific module, our team works with you to define your requirements and develop a suitable solution.

Small-batch OEM / ODM

Carbonlinkai support small-batch OEM/ODM partnerships, with customization covering product design, structural modifications, custom colors, private-label branding, and packaging. Our extensive portfolio spans capacity formats from 0.2 mL to 200 L, serving a broad range of applications and industries.

Customer outcomes

Customer value includes both cost savings and business growth. A major gene sequencing company in China reported cumulative savings of over RMB 4 million after replacing magnetic racks previously imported into China with Carbonlinkai products. Separately, a cell separation reagent manufacturer reported a revenue increase of over RMB 6 million by combining reagents with matching magnetic racks to introduce complete kits and new product lines.

From discussion to manufacturing

Working directly with Carbonlinkai connects technical discussions, prototyping, testing, design refinement, and manufacturing. Share your magnetic bead type, vessel specifications, processing volume, and integration requirements with us to develop a magnetic separation solution for your laboratory workflow or product portfolio.
