Abstract: Systems and methods of the present disclosure enable automated nucleic acid extraction using components including a rotating platform and a magnetic extractor. A controller controls the components to identify a program associated with a well plate kit based on a well plate kit indicator, where each well plate in the well plate kit is associated with a step for extracting nucleic acid from a sample, and each well plate is loaded with a particular substance for processing each step. Positions on the rotating platform associated with each well plate in the well plate kit are determined. Using the positions and the program, the controller performs each step by determining a particular position for particular well plate of a particular step, controlling the rotating platform to position the particular well plate under the magnetic extractor, and controlling magnetic rods of the magnetic extractor according to the program.
