The Waters Magnet+ is a laboratory device designed for automating magnetic bead-based protocols, integrating with the OneLab software for design and execution of experiments. It is part of the Andrew Alliance product line, a Waters Company.
Function Description:
The Magnet+ is a module that applies a magnetic field to labware, primarily for bead purification protocols. It works in conjunction with the OneLab platform, which allows users to design, execute, and monitor experiments. The device is capable of both manual and automated operation, supporting various experiment setups including fully automated, assisted and traced, and manual pipetting. It is designed to facilitate precise and complete protocols, guiding users through each step with visual instructions and recording all experiment data within OneLab.

- SELV Circuits: All input/output ports are Safety Extra Low Voltage (SELV) circuits and should only be connected to other SELV circuits.
Usage Features:
- OneLab Integration: The Magnet+ works seamlessly with the OneLab software, allowing users to design protocols using a drag-and-drop editor.
- Protocol Design: Users can create an "Apply magnetic field" action within OneLab protocols, specifying parameters for the magnetic field application.
- Experiment Execution: OneLab automatically selects the appropriate Magnet+ device and allows for various experiment setups (manual, semi-automated, fully automated). Users prepare required materials based on the chosen setup.
- Guided Experimentation: Visual instructions within OneLab guide users through each step of the experiment.
- Data Recording: Every step of the experiment is recorded and available in OneLab.
- Connectivity: Connects to a computer, tablet, or smartphone via Wi-Fi (network named Magnet-5xx.4XXX.XXXXX, where xxxx.xxxxx is the device serial number). Installation is initiated by launching a web browser and typing
http://192.168.2.1.
- Power On/Off:
- Power On: When in standby mode (plugged in but off), press the power button to turn on. The device will also automatically start up when plugged into a power source.
- Power Off: When the device is in an idle state (no experiment running), press the power button for 5 seconds to turn off.
- LED Indicator: The LED indicator turns blue and blinks during installation mode and stops blinking when successfully connected to Wi-Fi.
- Multiple Device Installation: The manual provides steps for connecting multiple devices, including placing them as indicated by OneLab, opening hatches, plugging in power cables, routing cables through dedicated paths, and closing hatches.
- Built-in Components: Features a built-in computer and a built-in wireless adapter. It includes a power socket and an Ethernet port for cable connection.
Maintenance Features:
- Cleaning: The device should only be cleaned with a wet tissue or isopropanol.
- End of Life: When the unit reaches the end of its useful life, contact Andrew Alliance for directions and information on the end-of-life policy, in accordance with the European Union Directive 2002/96/EC on Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE).
- Support: Users can contact the Andrew Alliance support team via chat directly in OneLab or by email at aa_support@waters.com for assistance.
