Magnetic Bead Transfer Module, Automation System Including The Module And Nucleic Acid Extraction Method Using The Module

摘要

The present invention relates to novel modules for transferring magnetic beads, an automated system comprising the modules and a method for extracting nucleic acids using the modules. The specially designed magnetic module and cover module of the present invention can be used by a moving module ( eg , pipette module) already present in the device in an automated liquid processing device. The present invention allows the bead transfer-type method for nucleic acid extraction to be carried out on an automated liquid processing apparatus in an automated manner. The present invention provides the advantages of higher levels of automation, reduced costs, and the need for separate liquid processing apparatus, as compared to conventional bead transfer-type methods, which are typically implemented in small devices designed to be used only for bead transfer-type methods. do. The method also has the advantage of a shorter reaction time compared to conventional liquid transfer-type methods.
