Title:
SAMPLE PROCESSING APPARATUS WITH INTEGRATED HEATER, SHAKER AND MAGNET
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2019/027561
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
Samples in an array of containers are processed by mounting the containers on a sample stage, moving magnets into proximity with bottoms of the containers of a first column of containers to apply a magnetic field, moving the magnets into proximity with bottoms of the containers of a second column, and moving heater elements into proximity with the container bottoms of the first column. While the magnetic field is applied to the containers of the second column, heat energy may be applied to the containers of the first column. The process may be repeated for additional columns. The containers may also be shaken to agitate the samples. A single apparatus may perform heating, shaking, and magnetic field application, without needing to transport the containers to different stations.
