Patent ID: 7763169

Claim:
A magnetic separation device, comprising: a separator, including a top base and a bottom base; at least a groove set, each composed of two arc-shaped grooves having curvatures opposite to each other and arranged in a manner that one of the two arc-shaped groove is formed on the top base at a surface thereof facing toward the bottom base while forming another arc-shaped groove on the bottom base at a surface thereof facing toward the top base; at least a magnetic member, being movably fitted inside the two arc-shaped grooves of the at least one groove set; and at least a test tube slot, each being formed at the outer rim of a base selected from the group consisting of the top and the bottom base of the separator to be used for fitting a test tube therein; wherein the top and the bottom bases are assembled by means of a pivotal axis piercing through about at the center of the top and the bottom bases for enabling the two bases to rotate relative to each other; and the magnetic member is driven to slide inside the groove set while the top and the bottom bases are driven to rotate relative to each other, thereby, the magnetic member is moved between two positions whereas one is near the at least one test tube slot and the other is away from the at least one test tube slot.
