  • Magnetic Rack
    Publication number: 20140305849
    Abstract: The present application provides a magnetic rack for separating magnetic particles from a non-magnetic medium. The magnetic rack comprises a supporting housing having a top side, a bottom side, two opposite lengthwise sides, and a cavity, wherein at least one magnet is disposed in the cavity, each lengthwise side is attached with a receiving member, and the top side has at least two sockets. The magnetic rack further comprises a pair of supporting walls, wherein each supporting wall has a fixing member introduced onto or into the receiving member to tightly connect the supporting housing with the pair of supporting walls. With the coupling of the receiving member and the fixing member, the supporting wall and the supporting housing can be tightly connected together, therefore the shake of the magnetic rack or the sample vials inserted in the magnetic rack can be significantly avoided. In this way, the magnetic particles can be effectively separated from a non-magnetic medium in the sample vial.
