The invention relates to a method for the chip-removing production or machining of a workpiece by means of a tool, in which method a liquid, which mixes and accumulates with the chips produced during the machining process, is used for lubricating and/or cooling the machining process, and the chips are discharged from the accumulation counter to the downhill force along a discharge path by means of a magnetic force, wherein a return flow of the liquid carried by the discharged chips occurs due to the downhill force, and the return flow is deflected out of the discharge path and/or the discharge path has at least one point at which the supporting surface is temporarily withdrawn from the discharged chips.

A filter is used for removing metallic contaminants in a solvent used in microcircuit fabrication. The filter includes a filter housing including a filter membrane for filtering solvent including metallic contaminants, and a magnet arranged about the filter housing and configured to generate a magnetic field to attract the metallic contaminants prior to the metallic contaminants entering the filter membrane. The magnet is arranged such that the magnetic field of the magnet is greater in a periphery of the filter housing compared to a central portion of the filter housing.

The present invention relates to a magnet plate for use in isolating a macromolecule from a mixture in a vessel, wherein the magnet plate has a reversible compression lock. The reversible compression lock engages the top plate and the base plate, wherein when in a locked position, the top plate is fixed and cannot move up and down, along the axis of the support or corner post and when in an unlocked position, the top plate is movable up and down along the axis of the support.
