Introduction to the PLEX-ID SP

Intended use

The PLEX-ID SP magnetic particle processor (Figure 1–1) is intended
for automated transfer and processing of magnetic particles in a
microplate scale. Use for self-testing is excluded. It is recommended that
Good Laboratory Practices (GLP) are followed to guarantee reliable
analyses.
Refer to Chapter 6: "Technical Specifications".
Principle of
The PLEX-ID SP magnetic particle processor (Figure 1–1) is designed
for automated transfer and processing of magnetic particles in
operation
microplate format.
The patented technology of the PLEX-ID SP system is based on the use
of magnetic rods covered with a disposable, specially designed tip comb
and plates. The instrument functions without any dispensing or
aspiration parts or devices.
Samples and reagents, including magnetic particles, are dispensed into
the plates according to the corresponding instructions. The protocol
that is selected by the user via the keyboard and display have already
been preloaded into the onboard software.
