DEVICE FOR APPLYING A MAGNETIC FIELD TO A MICROTITER PLATE FOR BIOLOGICAL SEPARATIONS

摘要

This invention provides devices that are useful for applying a magnetic field to a microtiter plate. The devices find use, for example, in the removal of magnetic particles from an aqueous suspension. The present invention provides a device for applying a magnetic field to a microtitier plate, the device comprising a substrate and a plurality of magnetic elements disposed on the substrate, wherein the plurality of magnetic elements are arranged parallel to each other such that the longitudinal axis of each magnetic element is approximately centered under a row or column of wells of a microtitier plate when said microtiter plate is positioned upon the device.
