METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR WASHING MAGNETICALLY RESPONSIVE PARTICLES

摘要

The invention features apparati and methods for washing magnetically responsive particles such as paramagnetic beads. One exemplary apparatus includes a flow chamber having an inlet and an outlet; and at least a first magnetic field inducer. The apparatus is configured such that a first magnetic field can be selectively applied in the flow chamber. The apparatus can also apply a flow of fluid to the chamber in coordination with the selective application of the magnetic field.
