Abstract

In this work we present a low ‑ cost, 3D ‑ printed magnetic bead ‑ capturing system that uses an automatic magnet ‑ retraction mechanism to control magnetic bead capture, and a (LDR) light-dependent resistors and LED (light ‑ emitting ‑ diode) based optical monitoring system integrated in a custom-made 3D printed microtube rack that was added to monitor real ‑ time bead accumulation for up to eight microtubes simultaneously.
