Abstract:
1. A biochemical processing apparatus for performing biochemical processing in a container with a plurality of wells, the apparatus comprising: a support constructed to support the container; a heating mechanism constructed to heat a first plurality of wells, wherein the heating mechanism is disposed so as to oppose the first plurality of wells; a cooling mechanism constructed to cool a second plurality of wells, wherein the cooling mechanism is disposed so as to oppose the second plurality of wells; and a processing mechanism constructed to perform a processing not requiring heating or cooling, the processing mechanism being disposed so as to oppose a third plurality of wells between the first plurality of wells and the second plurality of wells, wherein the heating mechanism, the processing mechanism, and the cooling mechanism are arranged in that order, and are opposed to the container supported by the support, and wherein the processing mechanism includes a magnetic member generating a magnetic field that is movably disposed and used for collecting magnetic particles, and the third plurality of wells contain the magnetic particles.
