And a finished product injecting step S14, controlling the rotary driver to drive the rotary support 7 to rotate around the first vertical axis 100 until the finished product tube 047 suspended on the rotary support is positioned right below the suction connector 41, controlling the lifting mechanism to drive the suction connector 41 to carry the suction head 01 to descend so as to insert the suction head 01 into the finished product tube, controlling the liquid transferring pump 44 to inject magnetic beads through the suction head 01, and then controlling the lifting mechanism to drive the suction connector 41 to carry the suction head 01 to ascend to the upper side of the rotary support 7.
And a suction head 01 dismounting step S15, controlling the rotary driver to drive the rotary support 7 to rotate around the first vertical axis 100 until the suction head 01 suspended on the rotary support is positioned right below the suction pipe joint 41, controlling the lifting mechanism to drive the suction pipe joint 41 to descend and be detachably sleeved and fixedly connected with the upper port of the suction head 01, and then controlling the lifting mechanism to drive the suction pipe joint 41 to lift the suction head 01 to be positioned on the upper side of the rotary support 7.
As can be seen from the above steps, the pipetting system 4 is used to transfer target solutions between the individual reagent vessels during operation.
In the above-described embodiment, the "angle β between the central axis of the first outer coupling shaft portion 54 and the central axis of the second outer coupling shaft portion 55" is configured as one of the largest projected angles of the two central axes in projection in a vertical plane, which is the extending arrangement direction of the rotary drive shafts; when they are coplanar, they are included in the coplanar plane.
