Extraction of Micro-Organ isms

摘要

Freeze-dried micro-organisms are presented to the system in 24 position deep-well plates and 4ml of methanol are pipetted to each well. To optimise the extraction process, the sample material is disrupted and mixed with an Ultra-Tur-rax~R mixer for 3 seconds. The plate is then tilted and the total volume of sample "slurry" present is transferred with special probes to 24-po-sition filter plates.
