Lab Testing Sampling Magnet

Lab Testing Sampling Magnet

A Lab Testing Sampling Magnet is a compact, high-intensity magnetic device used primarily in laboratory or quality control settings to detect and capture ferrous contaminants from small material samples. It’s designed for rapid and accurate assessment of product purity in bulk powders, granules, or liquids—before full-scale processing occurs. These magnets simulate how full-size magnetic separators would perform in production, allowing manufacturers to determine contamination levels, test separation efficiency, or verify compliance with hygiene and safety standards. Lab sampling magnets are commonly used in the food, pharmaceutical, plastic, and chemical industries during product development, inspection, and troubleshooting.

Key Features

  • High-Intensity Rare-Earth Magnets: Typically use Neodymium (NdFeB) magnets capable of capturing very fine ferrous particles, including weakly magnetic contaminants.
  • Compact and Portable Design: Small enough to use on benchtops or in field inspections, often handheld or mounted on stands.
  • Stainless Steel Construction (304/316): Corrosion-resistant and food-safe, making them ideal for hygienic environments.
  • Easy-to-Clean Design: Simple magnetic core removal or wipe-down surfaces for quick, efficient decontamination between tests.
  • Custom Probe or Tube Sizes: Available in a variety of diameters and lengths to match different sample types and containers.
  • Non-Invasive Sampling: Used without altering or damaging the sample material.

Applications

  • Food & Beverage Quality Control: Test raw materials like flour, spices, grains, or dairy powders for metal contamination.
  • Pharmaceutical Testing: Ensure excipients or active ingredients are free of ferrous contamination before formulation.
  • Plastic & Resin Inspection: Check virgin or recycled plastic pellets for metal particles that could damage processing equipment.
  • Chemical & Powdered Product Testing: Analyze powdered materials like pigments, cement, or cleaning agents during QC or R&D.
  • Raw Material Inspection: Test supplier materials for metal content as part of inbound quality checks.

Benefits

  • Accurate Contamination Detection: Helps identify the presence and type of ferrous contamination before full-scale processing.
  • Reduces Waste and Recalls: Allows early detection of contamination, preventing compromised batches and costly recalls.
  • Improves Product Quality: Ensures only clean, high-purity materials proceed to production.
  • Supports Compliance: Aids in meeting food safety (HACCP), pharmaceutical (GMP), or industrial quality standards.
  • Saves Time and Costs: Provides a fast, easy method to assess contamination without running full production equipment.
  • Valuable R&D Tool: Helps evaluate the effectiveness of various magnetic separators during product development and process optimization.
