Animated PickPen Procedure

    
  
  • Collect silicon-rubber tip from the tip box using the PickPen. Extend the magnet 2-3 times to check that the tip is firmly in place.
      
  • Extend the magnetic tip and dip into the suspension containing the magnetic particles and begin to collect. Stirring the tip gently in the suspension improves magnetic particle collection speed.
      
  • Once you have collected the magnetic particles withdraw the PickPen from the solution. The particles will remain attached to the tip.
      
  • Insert the PickPen tip into the next solution and release the particles by withdrawing the magnet. Stir gently to release the particles.
