Provided is a magnetic filtration apparatus with a simple structure for permitting easy and effective discharge of magnetic substances from the inside of a flow passage to its outside, the magnetic substances being captured by attraction from a liquid to be treated by magnetic separation. The magnetic filtration apparatus includes a treatment container 12 having an inlet 26 and outlet 28 of the liquid, and a discharge port 36 of the separated magnetic substances. A magnetic apparatus 20 attached around the treatment container 12 attracts the separated magnetic substances to an inner wall of the treatment container 12, while cancellation of the effect of the magnetic field generated by the magnetic apparatus 20 allows the attracted magnetic apparatus to flow into a detachable collecting container 14 positioned below the treatment container 12, due to the gravity, through a communication passage 15.

A magnetic separator for a liquid handling system includes a base unit having at least one receiver configured to receive a consumable, the at least one receiver being dimensioned to receive the consumable in a predefined location at least partially within the base unit. The magnetic separator further includes a magnet system located within the base unit proximate to the at least one receiver, the magnet system including a first separation magnet configured to perform separation of beads located within the consumable when the first magnet is located proximate to the consumable, and a movement system configured to move the first magnet in at least two directions in order to adapt to a shape of the consumable.
