Patent ID: 7537935

Claim:
A process for isolating a purified biological material comprising: a) placing biological materials in separate lysis vessels of a lysis unit comprising two or several lysis vessels in a predetermined geometric arrangement, b) adding lysis liquids to the biological materials in the lysis vessels, c) transferring the liquids in the lysis vessels into a matrix unit containing matrix vessels with outlet openings whose number corresponds to the number of lysis vessels and a matrix is located in each of the matrix vessels to which the biological material to be purified binds, d) extracting by centrifugation the liquids in the matrix vessels through the outlet openings during which the liquids flow through the matrices, e) placing the matrix unit on a collecting unit with collecting vessels which are arranged such that at least the outlet openings of the matrix vessels extend into the collecting vessels, f) filling the matrix vessels with elution fluid, g) extracting the elution fluids from the matrix vessels through their outlet openings during which the elution fluids flow through the matrices and the elution fluids which are enriched with biological material are collected in the collecting vessels, and h) closing the collecting unit with a closure unit.
