Abstract
There is provided a sample preparation device comprising a sample preparation vessel and a bead manipulation mechanism for manipulating sample preparation beads in the vessel. The bead manipulation mechanism comprises: one or more magnets arranged to produce a magnetic field for manipulating, in use, one or more beads in the vessel. Each magnet is attached to a support frame by a biasing support arranged to support the magnet in contact against an outer surface of the vessel such that the magnet maintains contact with the vessel during relative movement between the magnets and the vessel.
