Definitions

  • magnetic particles and in particular of magnetic beads, in the context of purification processes is widespread. This is often, without the following list being exhaustive, the purification of cells or biological macromolecules such as isolated proteins, antibodies and nucleic acids.
  • Magnetic particles in particular magnetic beads, are used to purify these cells and/or these biological macromolecules.
  • the element to be purified attaches to the magnetic particles, which allows it to be separated from the surrounding environment.
  • the protocols allowing these purifications involve, among other things, several stages of successive washing of these magnetic particles.
  • the magnetic particles are placed in test tubes with the presence of a washing solution, these tubes being on a rack;
  • test tubes are moved one by one from the rack to a shaker
  • test tubes are stirred in order to resuspend the magnetic beads in the washing solution and thus wash them;
  • test tubes are removed one by one from the stirrer and placed on a magnetic rack. Thanks to the action of the near magnetic field, the magnetic particles are pressed against the walls of the test tubes;
  • the soiled washing solution is removed, for example by means of the use of a pipette, and changed by a clean washing solution.
  • test tubes are to be treated simultaneously and 5 successive washes are recommended, this is very daunting and the test tubes are handled hundreds of times (24 multiplied by 5 multiplied by 2, therefore 240 manipulations), which which is time consuming and can lead to sample reversals, lab staff fatigue, etc.
