A pipette holder that includes: (i) a base; (ii) a recess made in the base, which can removably house a well support; (iii) a pipette support comprising a first housing into which can be inserted a pipette equipped with one or more tubular pipette cones that each comprise a tip intended for pipetting liquid, the first housing opening out onto the recess of the base, the pipette support being translationally mobile relative to the base in a direction parallel to an axis of the pipette cones and mobile between a first position in which the tip of each pipette cone is inserted in a well of the well support and at least one second position in which the tip is outside the well; and (iv) a second housing which can removably house a magnetized part.

Method and system for magnetic extraction of components in a liquid sample

A system for extracting analytes from a biological sample, which includes: an electronic pipette having pipette cones with a tip; a well support; a pipette holder including: a base which can removably house each well support; a pipette support into which the pipette is inserted, and which can move relative to the base between a first position in which the tips of the cones are inserted in a well of the support and at least one second position in which the tips are outside the wells; a housing facing the pipette cones above their tip when the pipette support is in the first position, and facing the tips of the pipette cones when the pipette support is in the second position; and a magnetized part removably inserted in the housing.
