Automatic purification system and biological sample purification method

Abstract

An automatic purification system using magnetic particles comprises: 1) a first container module; and 2) a system controller module. The first container module comprises a first container and a first magnetic field supply device disposed outside the first container. A first container liquid inlet is formed in the upper portion of the first container, and a first container liquid outlet is formed in the bottom of the first container. The system controller module can generate a variable magnetic field in the first container by controlling the first magnetic field supply device. A method for purifying a target component from a biological sample comprises a step for allowing a biological sample containing a target component to be in contact with magnetic particles capable of specifically binding the target component, in the first container in the automatic purification system. The automatic purification system and method help to efficiently separate a target product from a biological sample, and helps to reduce process costs and time at the same time.
