Abstract
A magnetic separation rack and method for separating magnetically attractable particles used in an assay technique such as a heterogeneous diagnostic assay. The rack has a plurality of test tubes holders and a series of magnets positioned so that each test tube has one and only one magnetic immediately adjacent thereto. The magnet is on the side of the test tube at an upper position thereof without extending to the bottom. The particles are then attracted to the side of the test tube permitting removal or rinsing of the medium.
