Functional Description

Principle of magnetic particle processing

the sliding door can be closed or open (Figure 2–3) or the whole see-
through lid can be absent. The closed door protects the processing
against environmental contamination.
The operating principle employed is MPP (inverse magnetic particle
processing) technology (Figure 2–7). Rather than moving the liquids,
the magnetic particles are moved from plate to plate containing specific
reagents, in contrast to the external magnet method. Magnetic particles
are transferred with the aid of magnetic rods covered with a disposable,
specially designed plastic tip comb.
