Dynal Biotech, a company in Oslo, Norway, developed Dynabeads, which are magnetic beads for efficient and quick separation of cells, bacteria, proteins, subcellular compartments, mRNA and DNA. This development has revolutionised the isolation and separation of many biological materials. For instance, the attachment of target-specific antibodies to the surface of the beads allows capture and isolation of intact cells directly from a complex suspension, such as blood. This is all accomplished under the influence of a simple magnetic field without the need of column techniques or centrifugation. Dynabeads have been applied to three major scientific areas: immunology, molecular biology, and microbiology. Dynal Biotech is now taking involvement in cancer research areas, such as the early detection of minimal residual cancer. In addition, the company continues to enhance its competence in its core technology; particle structure and surface chemistry, affinity ligands and immobilisation strategies combined with the on-going development of dedicated products as a solution provider in the biological and biomedical sciences.
