Product Introduction
Product
Name
Automatic nucleic acid extractor
Model
Purifier 32
Intended Use
This instrument can be applied for the extraction and purification of
nucleic acid from different clinic samples. Purifier 32 is especially
used on research and tests by the personnel who have been trained
professionally. It is recommended that good laboratory practice
(GLP) should be followed to ensure the reliability of the analysis.
Refer to Chapter 6: Technical Parameters.
Working
Principle
The principle is magnetic beads adsorption method. Purifier 32
(Figure 1-1) is designed for automatic transfer and processing of
magnetic beads in standard microwell plates. The patented
technology of the Purifier 32 system is based on the use of
magnetic rods and microwell plates with disposable and specially
designed magnetic tip combs. The instrument may work without
any distribution or suction parts or devices. Samples and reagents,
including magnetic beads, are loaded into microwell plates
according to corresponding instructions. The program selected by
the user through the touch screen has been uploaded to the
instrument software. Purifier 32 software can be used to create and
run programs.

Rear View
See Figure 2-2 for the rear view of Purifier 32.
Figure 2-2. Purifier 32 Rear View
Purifier 32 (Figure 2-1) has 2 microwell plate positions. The
magnetic tip combs match the microwell plate. During each step, the
microwell plate remains stationary and the only component that
moves is the magnetic head with magnetic tip comb and magnetic
rod. The magnetic head consists of two vertically moving platforms.
One is used for the magnetic rods and the other is used for magnetic
tip comb. The magnetic tip comb with 32 channels can process 32
samples at one time.
Prior to the start of program, samples and reagents are loaded into
microwell plate. The magnetic tip comb is placed on the correct
microwell plate and can be automatically loaded onto the moving
platform. According to the program, the microwell plate is placed in
the corresponding plate position on the plate.
The sample chamber door must be closed during operation. It can
protect the sample from environmental contaminants.
The working principle of the instrument is MPP technology (Figure
2-4). Different from other methods of magnetic bead purification for
liquids transfer, this method transfers magnetic beads between
microwell plates containing specific reagents. The magnetic beds are
transferred with the help of magnetic rods and the magnetic rods are
loaded with a specially designed disposable plastic magnetic tip
comb.

Principle
Figure 2- 3 MPP
Magnetic
bead
processing
Magnetic bead processing can be divided into four separate steps:
⚫Bind magnetic beads
⚫Release magnetic beads
⚫Rinse magnetic beads
⚫Concentration
Bind
magnetic
beads
In the magnetic bead binding process, the magnetic rod is
completely inside the magnetic tip comb. The magnetic rod and
magnetic tip comb move slowly up and down in the microwell plate
to collect the magnetic beads to the top of the magnetic tip comb.
After the magnetic rod and magnetic tip comb are bound with the
magnetic beads, they are lifted from the microwell plate and
transferred to the next microwell plate.
Release
magnetic
beads
After the magnetic beads are collected, the magnetic rod and
magnetic tip comb are lifted from the microwell plate together and
transferred to the next microwell plate containing the reagent. The
magnetic rod and magnetic tip comb are placed together and the
magnetic rod is lifted.
The magnetic beads are released by moving the magnetic tip comb
up and down at high speed, and all the magnetic beads are fully
mixed with the substrate of the next reaction.

Rinse
magnetic
beads
Magnetic bead cleaning is a common and important process that
combines release and collection in a microwell plate filled with
cleaning solution.
In order to maximize cleaning efficiency, the magnetic rod and
magnetic tip comb are designed to have minimal liquid hanging
performance.
Volume
change in
magnetic
bead
processing
The solution volume of the former microwell plate can be larger
than that of the next microwell plate to achieve the purpose of
concentration (see Figure 2-5).

USB Port
There is a USB port on the front panel for updating the software of
the touch screen and motherboard.
Consumables
See "Accessory and Consumables List" for details and ordering
information about Purifier 32's plastic consumables, such as
deep-well plates, magnetic tip comb, HEPA filters and UV lights.

Installation and Packaging
This chapter introduces the installation of Purifier 32
Delivery
Check
This section contains the procedures to be carried out upon receipt
of the instrument.
Unboxing
Move the packaged instrument to the operation site. To prevent
condensation of water vapor, the instrument should be left in its
protective, anti-static plastic packaging until the ambient
temperature is reached. Open Purifier 32 and accessories carefully,
with the arrow on the transport package upwards. Remove the
instrument from the package and place it on a horizontal surface.
Warning Purifier 32 weights about 22kg. If transporting without
package, please handle carefully. It is recommended that two
people move the equipment together and take appropriate
precautions to avoid injury.
When lifting the instrument, place the fingers on the bottom of both
sides and keep the back straight.
Please keep the original packing materials for future
transportation. The packing is designed to ensure safe
transportation and reduce damage in transit. The use of alternative
packaging materials may not achieve the effect. All instrument
related documentation provided by the manufacturer is retained for
future use.
Integrity and
Damage
Check
Check the packing list attached to the instrument according to the
order. Visually check the shipping packages, instruments and
accessories for possible transportation damage. If any parts are broken,
please contact the manufacturer in time.

⚫The ambient air is clean, free from corrosive steam, smoke
and dust;
⚫Ambient temperatures range from 10°C to 40°C;
⚫Humidity is low and condensation does not occur (relative
humidity is below 80%);
Care should be taken not to operate the instrument in an
environment with potentially harmful liquids or gases.
Precautions
and
Restrictions
⚫Always ensure that the laboratory power supply voltage meets
the specification on the label on the back of the instrument

⚫Do not smoke or eat or drink while using this device;
⚫Clean hands thoroughly after handling the buffer solution;
⚫Follow regular laboratory procedures for handling samples
that may be dangerous;
⚫Adhere to good laboratory practices and wear appropriate
protective clothing such as disposable gloves and laboratory
coat;
⚫Ensure that the working area is well ventilated;
