Abstract
A system includes a pipetting system including a 3-axis gantry; a sled mechanism to select a magnetic comb from a set of magnetic combs; a fluorometer; and a set of receptacles to receive welled plates. A method for purifying nucleic acids includes applying a sample to a well of a multi-well plate, selecting a magnetic comb from a set of magnetic combs disposed on a gantry system, collecting magnetic beads using the magnetic comb, collecting nucleic acid using the magnetic beads, and eluting the nucleic acid from the beads.
