A rotatable magnet cradle assembly that can be used to separate swarf from a flow of fluid is provided. The cradle of magnets can be rotated a certain amount about a rotational axis from an operational position to a cleaning position. The magnet cradle may include a tube extending between two brackets, a shaft to which the two brackets are attached, and a magnet bar extending through the tube. In the operational position, the magnet provides a magnetic field that attracts swarf to an outer surface of the tube. Once it is desired to clean the assembly, the shaft is rotated to move the two brackets and tube out of the fluid flow and to a position proximate a discharge location, where the magnet bar can be removed from the tube to release the swarf.

A magnetic separator apparatus for the removal of magnetic particles from gold bearing sands provides one or more magnetic separator assemblies along a sluice box channel to remove the magnetic particles using spinning strong earth magnets within a magnetic separator assembly, removing the magnetic particle where they are removed from the apparatus and evacuated as waste, while the valuable non-magnetic particles are left within the sluice for further separation, classification and processing to remove the precious metal particles contained therein, the apparatus used in a wet or dry application.

A magnetic separator includes a housing defining a product flow path through which material may pass. The magnetic separator further includes a drawer moveable between a first position and a second position and at least one magnet operatively connected to the drawer. The at least one magnet is positioned within the product flow path in the first position of the drawer. The at least one magnet is withdrawn from the flow path when in the second position.

An apparatus for providing thermal and magnetic energy to a receptacle containing a reaction mixture and a magnetic retention member. The apparatus can also control heating of a reaction mixture, and bring about a separation of magnetic particles from the reaction mixture. The reaction mixture typically comprises polynucleotides from a biological sample that are being brought into a PCR-ready form.

An integrated magnetic microbead processing apparatus includes a microplate having magnetic microbeads in microwells. A bottom of the microplate includes cavities between the microwells. A heating/cooling plate supports a base of the microplate and has a plurality of holes. A vertically movable magnet support plate includes a plurality of magnetic pins, each of which can protrude through one hole in the plurality of holes of the heating plate and into the cavity of the microplate. The magnetic pins are height adjustable. A shaker is operably connected to the microplate and is configured to shake the microplate, the heating/cooling plate, the magnetic support plate.
