About Ferrotec

From Solutions in Space to Solutions in Labs

Ferrotec (USA) Corporation delivers advanced technologies that enable precision and reliability across life sciences and high-performance industrial applications. Through our Ferrotec Lifesciences portfolio, we support accurate qPCR and digital PCR workflows with high-quality magnetic bead–based nucleic acid purification solutions. By reducing variability at the source—sample preparation—our technologies ensure reproducible nucleic acid recovery, low inhibitor carryover, and consistent A₂₆₀/A₂₈₀ ratios, allowing downstream analysis to reflect true biological signal.

Our solutions are engineered for performance and scalability across both manual and automated environments. Ferrotec Ferrobeads utilizes silica-coated magnetic particles to provide high-capacity binding and consistent, high-purity DNA and RNA extraction across diverse sample types. Complementing this, the GeneFast Automation Platform™ accelerates purification workflows with precision magnetic rod technology, dynamic amplitude control, and optimized thermal uniformity. Integrated UV sterilization, disposable tip combs, and an intuitive interface ensure contamination-free, repeatable results—enabling laboratories to generate reliable, high-quality molecular data at scale.

Founded on a core of ferrofluid magnetic liquid and Ferrofluidic^® sealing technologies, Ferrotec has grown into a global enterprise serving a wide range of industries through collaborative innovation in research, manufacturing, and marketing. Headquartered in Livermore, California, Ferrotec (USA) focuses on North American markets with additional facilities in Bedford, New Hampshire and San Jose, California.
