16.32 Commands for the Magnetic Bead Separator
The Magnetic Bead Separator option (also called Te-MagS) is a magnetic bead
separator with an optional heating function. It uses a commercially-available liquid
containing microscopic magnetic beads to rapidly isolate bio-molecules (e.g.
DNA, RNA, proteins etc.) or whole cells from various crude mixtures by means of
magnetic forces. The magnetic beads are pulled through the liquid in the tubes
using magnets and collect the required substance as they move.
