Hi,

I am trying to source a 96 well magnetic separation plate. Most of the examples I have found seem to have a limited number (24) of magnetic positions on a plate. Is there a reason there are not plates with all 96 positions magnetized? Is there some interference from having to place the magnets so closely? Is that number of magnets not needed to ensure proper function? Can too many magnets cause too rapid separation?

Some examples of what I have seen:

Thank You,
