Product overview

A closer look at
the Mag-CTS.

The CarbonLinkAI Mag-CTS Benchtop Magnetic Separator for Closed-Bag Processing works with compatible blood bags, cell culture bags, and tubing 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.

Height adjustment range: 500–800 mm.

Product overview

Matching original magnetic field parameters | Compatible with closed cell bag processes | Usable in cGMP clean workshops | Customization available for all non-standard sizes

Identical sorting precision with half the procurement cost; one-stop complete solutions for cell magnetic separation

Core Matching Advantages | Original Replacement Without Performance Loss

Fully consistent magnetic field parameters for equivalent separation performance

The surface magnetic field strength of the primary magnet exceeds 8,000 Gauss (0.8 T). Equipped with a secondary auxiliary magnet rated at 2,500 Gauss for magnetic compensation to eliminate escaping residual beads. The optimal magnetic attraction distance is ≤11 mm, enabling full capture and sedimentation of magnetic beads within 1 minute. The cell recovery rate matches that of original imported equipment with stable batch separation data, which can be directly applied to equipment records for regulatory filings. The natural magnetic attenuation of the integral magnetic core is less than 0.5% over 10 years, maintaining stable performance under long-term intensive use in clean workshops.

Full-range mechanical structure for seamless transition of operating habits

The overall dimension, lifting range of vertical rods (500mm–800mm), multi-angle tilt adjustment of the magnet, and horizontal base rotation at 0°/90°/180° are fully designed in accordance with original standards. Matched components including transparent acrylic pressure plates, detachable main magnets and load-bearing bag hangers allow operators to get started directly without revising existing operating procedures or SOP documents. Consistent net weight, material configuration and protective structure ensure perfect layout matching with laminar flow cabinets in clean areas.

Clean-grade material configuration to meet cell drug compliance standards

The unit body is constructed from anodized aluminum alloy and medical-grade acrylic, tolerating routine disinfection wiping with 70% isopropanol, 1% sodium hypochlorite and dilute hydrochloric acid. The equipment is designed to forbid overall soaking and autoclaving, fully complying with cGMP and ISO9001 production management standards for stable daily operation in clean workshops and cell preparation rooms.

Customized flexible services adapting to exclusive customer consumable systems

We can freely adjust magnet layout, cavity dimensions, bracket structure and mounting hole sizes according to specifications of customer self-developed cell bags, customized pipelines and integrated process systems. Modular reconstruction and full-unit OEM labeling are supported to meet the integration demands of automated production lines for clients.

Dual advantages in delivery cycle and procurement cost

Standard models are in stock for fast shipment with controllable lead time for customized products. Our price is merely around 30% of original imported devices. We provide lifelong technical consultation, troubleshooting and magnetic field calibration services, resolving the issue of lengthy after-sales maintenance cycles for overseas equipment.

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.
