ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for immunoassay using a 96-well microplate includes a mechanism for supporting the microplate in a relatively fixed position, a magnetic microplate assembly containing multiple cylindrical magnets positioned in 4.times.6 arrays for insertion from the bottom of the microplate in the spaces between the wells of the microplate, and a device for moving the magnet microplate assembly relative to the microplate thereby to permit selective separation of magnetic components within the microplate wells. The magnets, preferably cylindrical in configuration, are placed between groups of four wells in the microplate. The magnetic microplate assembly is reusable. The magnets do not come into contact with any of the fluids within the wells of the microplate.
