What is the standard conversion of Gauss to Tesla units?

1 Tesla is equivalent to 10,000 Gauss. .

How can I clean my DynaMag magnet?

Spray and/or wipe the DynaMag magnet unit with one of the following cleaning agents:

- 70% (v/v) isopropyl alcohol
- 1% (v/v) sodium hypochlorite solution (bleach)
- 0.1 N HCl solution

Do not submerge the magnet unit in aqueous solutions and avoid prolonged exposure to water or aqueous solutions. Clean with a damp cloth and mild detergent when exposed to harsh solvents. Do not autoclave the magnet unit as heating the magnet to above 70 degrees C can destabilize the magnetic material, resulting in loss of magnetic strength.

What is the difference between the DynaMag-2 Magnet (Cat. No. 12321D) and DynaMag-Spin Magnet (Cat. No. 12320D)?

The DynaMag-2 Magnet can hold 16 standard 1.5 mL or 2 mL microcentrifuge tubes, while the DynaMag-Spin Magnet holds up to 6 standard 1.5 mL microcentrifuge tubes.
