The PLEX-ID SP (Figure 2–6) has room for eight plates. The tip
combs are compatible with the plates. During the individual steps, the
plates are kept stationary, and the only moving assembly is the
processing head with tip comb and magnetic rods. The head consists of
two vertically moving platforms. One is needed for the magnetic rods
(24 or 96 pieces) and the other one for the plastic tip comb.
Up to eight plates can be simultaneously on the turntable. However,
during one sample processing, the protocol enables the use of more
than eight plates in total. One tip comb contains 24 or 96 tips used for
processing 24 or 96 samples at a time.
Before starting the magnetic particle processing via the keypad and
display, the samples and reagents are dispensed into the plates and the
tip comb is placed onto a plate, from which it is automatically loaded.
The plates are placed onto the turntable into the corresponding plate
stations according to the protocol instructions. During the operation,
