a The SmartLid Rack, with numbered columns (1–12) to identify the sample and lettered rows (A–D) for each step in the extraction process. b Tube being transferred from the SmartLid Rack into the SmartLid Vortex Tool by a user performing six simultaneous extractions. c Screw-on plate locks all tubes and maintains all SmartLids in place while also providing a handle. d All samples are mixed simultaneously and equally by depressing the top of the vortex mixer with the central column underneath the tool. e All tubes are fully mixed and magnetic keys are inserted into each SmartLid. f All magnetic beads are collected simultaneously through inverting the Vortex Tool.
