Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2014/073218
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
The present invention provides a method of manipulating a solid carrier and an apparatus of manipulating a solid carrier in which the solid carrier is passed through more regions in liquid in a vessel. More specifically, the method of manipulating the solid carrier is a method of manipulating a solid carrier M in a liquid contained in a vessel 100, the solid carrier M being magnetic and capable of carrying a substance, the method comprising: manipulating the solid carrier M using a magnetic force application unit 400 adapted to applying a magnetic force to the solid carrier M in the vessel 100 so that the relative position between the magnetic force application unit 400 and the vessel 100 is altered over a period of time by means of directing the solid carrier M in a direction along either one or a combination of the vectors of the longitudinal direction of the vessel 100 and the direction crossing the longitudinal direction of the vessel 100.
