In the era of high-throughput biological analysis, magnetic bead-based technologies have become indispensable for biomarker isolation, nucleic acid purification, and protein enrichment. However, traditional manual magnetic bead processing—relying on pipetting, manual magnetic separation, and step-by-step incubation—poses significant limitations that hinder efficiency and reproducibility. Manual operations are labor-intensive, prone to human error, and unable to keep up with the demands of high-sample-volume projects. Additionally, manual processing increases the risk of cross-contamination, compromises result uniformity (with intra- and inter-operator variability), and extends turnaround times—critical drawbacks in time-sensitive fields like clinical diagnostics and drug development.

CD Bioparticles, a pioneer in advanced bioparticle solutions, addresses these challenges with its automated magnetic bead processing service. Leveraging cutting-edge automation platforms, proprietary magnetic bead chemistry, and standardized workflow design, our service streamlines magnetic bead-based processes from sample input to purified product or detected target—eliminating manual errors, boosting throughput, and ensuring consistent, reliable results. Whether you are a clinical lab processing hundreds of patient samples daily, a biopharma company scaling up biopurification, or a research team conducting high-throughput screening, our automated service is tailored to meet your efficiency, precision, and scalability needs.
Our Services
CD Bioparticles offers a comprehensive automated magnetic bead processing service that covers the entire workflow from sample receipt to final data delivery. Our service portfolio is designed to be flexible, scalable, and tailored to your project goals—whether you need a turnkey solution or a custom-built automated process.
Automated Platform Selection & Customization
We work with you to select the optimal automation platform based on your sample volume, throughput needs, and application:
- Low-Throughput (1–96 Samples/Batch): Compact liquid handlers (e.g., 96-well format) for small research projects or pilot studies, offering quick setup and cost-effectiveness.
- Medium-Throughput (96–384 Samples/Batch): Benchtop automation systems with integrated magnetic modules, ideal for clinical labs processing daily patient samples or biopharma teams conducting preclinical assays.
- High-Throughput (384–1536 Samples/Batch): Industrial-scale automation lines with robotic arms, plate stackers, and inline quality control—designed for bioproduction or large-scale population studies.
We also offer platform customization, such as adding barcode scanners for sample tracking, integrating third-party detection instruments (e.g., fluorescence readers), or modifying reagent reservoirs to fit your preferred consumables.
End-to-End Automated Processing
Our service handles all key steps of magnetic bead-based workflows, eliminating manual intervention:
- Sample Preparation: Automated sample lysis (using optimized buffers) and normalization to ensure consistent starting conditions across all samples.
- Magnetic Bead Binding: Precise dispensing of magnetic beads and capture molecules, followed by temperature-controlled incubation to maximize target binding.
- Automated Washing: Programmable washing steps (2–5 cycles) with consistent buffer volume and mixing speed, removing unbound contaminants and minimizing background noise.
- Elution/Detection: Automated elution of purified targets (e.g., nucleic acids, proteins) into collection plates, or direct integration with detection modules (e.g., fluorescence, chemiluminescence) for target quantification.
Applications
CD Bioparticles' automated magnetic bead processing service has broad applications across industries, enabling efficient, high-quality results in research, diagnostics, and bioproduction.
- Cancer Biomarker Detection: Automated enrichment of circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) or tumor-derived exosomes from plasma samples, enabling early cancer screening and treatment monitoring with consistent results across large patient cohorts.
- Genetic Testing: Automated genotyping (e.g., SNP analysis) and next-generation sequencing (NGS) library preparation, ensuring uniform DNA purification and minimizing sample-to-sample variability.

Our Advantages
High Purity and Yield
Our optimized protocols and high-quality reagents ensure that you get a highly pure and concentrated exosome sample. This is critical for downstream analysis, as it minimizes background noise and allows for more accurate and sensitive results.
Speed and Efficiency
Magnetic bead-based isolation is significantly faster than ultracentrifugation. This efficiency allows for a higher sample throughput, making it ideal for large-scale studies and clinical applications.
Preserved Integrity
The gentle nature of our method ensures that the exosomes remain intact and their biological activity is preserved. This is vital for applications where the function of the exosome or its cargo needs to be studied.
At CD Bioparticles, we are committed to advancing bioparticle technology through innovation and customer-centric service. Our automated magnetic bead processing service is more than a tool—it is a partnership that supports your success, from initial assay development to full-scale implementation.Contact CD Bioparticles today to discuss how our Automated Magnetic Bead Processing Service can transform your workflow, boost efficiency, and unlock new possibilities in your research or production.
