| 摘要 |
The present invention pertains to a system (1) for the processing of nucleic acids containing fluids involving manipulation of magnetically responsive particles contained therein, comprising: at least one holder (8), adapted to hold a plurality of containers (19) containing the fluids; at least two processing devices (24, 25) including a heating device (24), adapted to apply thermal energy to the fluids and a separating device (25), adapted to magnetically separate said particles; in which the processing devices (24, 25) are being fixed to at least one actuator (28-44), adapted to move each of the processing devices (24, 25) into at least one operative position and at least one inoperative position with respect to the containers (19), wherein a processing device (24, 25) when in operative position is operable to process the fluids. The present invention further relates to a method for the processing of nucleic acids containing fluids involving applying thermal energy to the fluids and manipulating magnetically responsive particles contained in the fluids, in which the containers are kept stationary at least during and in-between incubating the fluids and manipulating the magnetically responsive particles. |
