Spinning vessel systems and methods for mixing, suspending particulates, aliquoting, washing magnetic beads, and concentrating analytes

A system for magnetic bead attraction and liquid mixing comprising:

• at least one substantially cylindrical vessel with a center and a radius comprising a vessel opening, a vessel base exterior, an interior vessel wall, and an exterior vessel wall, the vessel further comprising:
• a magnet positioned adjacent to the exterior vessel wall;
• a drive base operably connected to the vessel base exterior;
• a motor operatively connected to the drive base, wherein the motor rotates the vessel along the vessel’s center;
• and,
• a motor controller with speed and rotational direction control.
