Figure 6. Magnetic assembly components and platform.
Figure 6 shows the hardware components inside the machine. The Magnetic Rod Assembly varies depending on the
configuration (SEV or LEV). Figure 6, Panel A, shows the SEV hardware configuration indicating the slides, which
allow the Plungers to move up and down; the Magnetic Rod Assembly, which holds the magnets in place; and the
Plunger Bar, which contains the Magnetic Rods. Figure 6, Panel B, shows the LEV hardware configuration that
incorporates an adaptor to hold the LEV Magnetic Rods and LEV Plunger Bar. Figure 6, Panel C, shows the
Maxwell
®
16 Platform, indicating the slots where the SEV cartridges and Elution Tubes are placed. For LEV, the
cartridge sample rack containing the LEV cartridges is placed on the platform (rack not shown).
