Magnetic-bead nucleic acid purification

Purification method that binds nucleic acids to paramagnetic beads and moves a magnetic probe head between wells to wash and elute, scaling more readily to high-throughput plate processing than spin columns.

Where it's used

Automated nucleic acid extraction
Benchtop instruments that automate DNA/RNA purification from biological samples — spin-column robots, magnetic-bead purifiers and liquid-biopsy sample-prep platforms — replacing manual extraction kits with standardized, walk-away processing for molecular diagnostics, sequencing library prep and biopharma QC.
