    摘要: A method for purifying nucleic acids or proteins comprising a plurality of piston pumps; and a plurality of nozzles capable of having a plurality of disposable tips which are automatically attachable/detachable. The apparatus includes a mechanism for mixing a liquid mixture of each sample and a reagent in a plurality of sections of a container by sucking up a plurality of the mixtures into tips, followed by discharging the mixtures in the sections simultaneously. The apparatus also includes a mechanism for dispensing a desired amount of a reagent to be used subsequently into the same number of sections of a different container as samples, while the mixing is in progress.
