Promega sells magneto-blobules, but be warned - they are not the high quality
particles as Dynal beads. I think Advanced Magnetics, Inc.  supplies Promega
with these. There was a long thread of discussion on these last year that you
can find in the archives. If you want to cut out the middle man, call their
supplier directly:
