RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT
Beckman Life Sciences Expands New R&D Hub in Colorado
ing how they rely on the efficient
extraction and cleanup of nucleic
acids. Maximizing recovery,
consistency and speed is achievable
with manual or automated
protocols utilizing the company's
SPRI technology which uses
paramagnetic beads to selectively
bind nucleic acids by type and
size. See www.labroots.com for

New R&D hub in Colorado for Beckman Life Sciences, developer of magnetic
purification products, is set to expand
Beckman Life Sciences, a leader in magnetic separations technology
for laboratories, has completed the first phase of its new
research and development hub in Colorado with the opening of
a $10 million facility in Loveland and now is working on a second
phase set for opening next year. The first complex, opened in January,
is 56,000 sq ft for office, technology development and customer
engagement centers. The second phase will add 37,000 sq ft of
manufacturing operation attached to the office site.
Suzanne Foster, president of
Beckman Life Sciences
" The relentless pursuit of innovation
is what drives our business and our
associates each and every day, "
said Suzanne Foster, president.
" We continue to be impressed by
the talent community that exists in
greater Loveland, which has fueled
our growth in Colorado since we
came here in 2018 with nearly threedozen
associates. Our instruments
are on the frontlines of major global
research facilities, providing them
with valuable automation solutions to
accelerate answers for that next big
breakthrough moment. "
Beckman has an extensive portfolio of magnetic beads for laboratory
separations and develops associated systems for laboratory
automation, all among a diverse range of products for biotechnology
testing. A webinar held in June illustrates the power of its
superparamagnetic bead technology.
Called " The Irresistible Pull of Paramagnetic Beads " , it was presented
June 29 on LabRoots by Lori Euler, senior manager for drug
discovery genomic solutions. The session covers molecular biology
workflows within drug discovery and development pipelines, cover20

Paramagnetic bead reagents with tunable fragment size to suit
specific applications help purify DNA fragments in health science
laboratories.
Workflow system integrates magbeads for nucleic acid analyses
As reported earlier in Magnetics Magazine, one of the company's
recent developments has been a magnetic bead system to automate
nucleic acid workflow in labs. Creating the industry's first
powerful workflow innovation in more than 30 years for plasmid
prep and polymerase chain reaction cleanup, it launched the EMnetik
System to semi-automate workflows while drastically reducing
the amount of time required to achieve a PCR cleanup. The system
is powered by reagents containing its SuperSPRI beads and the
EMnetik 24 electromagnetic microparticle processor.
