Abstract
Relates to a microplate carrier () for a microplate (), in whose wells () magnetic particles (), which are suspended in a liquid (), with or without samples adhering thereto are located, the microplate carrier () comprising permanent magnets () generating magnetic fields which are implemented to collect and retain the magnetic particles () on the floor () and/or on the walls () of the wells () of this microplate (). The microplate carrier () according to the invention is characterized in that it comprises two permanent magnets () situated diametrically opposite in relation to the well () for each well () of the microplate (), which have the same polarity directed toward the well () and whose magnetic axis () is at least essentially perpendicular to the footprint of the microplate () to be placed. A corresponding method based on the use of the microplate carrier () is also disclosed.
