MAGNETIC TUBE RACK

摘要

A system for holding sample tubes used in immunoprecipitation and similar laboratory techniques. A rack comprises top and bottom plates spaced apart from each other and defining rows of holes to receive the sample tubes and hold the sample tubes in a pair of spaced-apart rows. A magnet holder is configured to slide between the top and bottom plates and between the two parallel rows of sample tubes such that when the magnet holder is fully inserted between the rows of sample tubes, magnets held by the magnet holder align with the sample tubes in the two parallel rows.

1. A system for holding sample tubes, the system comprising:
a top plate defining a first plurality of holes, each of the first plurality of holes being a through hole through the top plate and sized for accommodating an outer diameter of a respective sample tube; a bottom plate defining a second plurality of holes, each of the second plurality of holes sized to accommodate a tip of a respective sample tube, wherein the first and second pluralities of holes are positioned to cooperatively hold the sample tubes in a pair of parallel rows; and a removable magnet holder configured to slide between the top plate and the bottom plate and between the two rows of sample tubes, the magnet holder holding a plurality of magnets that, when the magnet holder is fully inserted between the rows of sample tubes, align with the sample tubes in the parallel rows.
