1. A magnetic substance attracting/releasing control method comprises the steps of:
- providing a pipette device having a liquid suction line including a liquid inlet end for sucking a liquid containing said magnetic substance from a container and discharging said liquid through said liquid inlet end, and a magnet body or magnet bodies being detachably fitted to an external peripheral surface of said liquid suction line of said pipette device;
said pipette device providing attracting/releasing control by absorbing and maintaining said magnetic substance contained in said liquid and attracted to said liquid suction line due to magnetism in said magnet body or bodies on an internal surface of said liquid suction line, said magnetic substance being maintained on said internal surface of said pipette device and also by releasing said magnetic substance from said liquid suction line by means of interrupting effect by magnetism in said magnet body or bodies so that said substance is discharged together with said liquid to outside of said liquid suction line through said liquid inlet end.

Abstract
A magnetic material attracting/releasing control method makes use of a pipette device sucking a liquid from or discharging a liquid into a container. A magnet body or bodies are provided in a liquid suction line of the pipette device, and any magnetic material contained in liquid sucked into the liquid suction line by magnetic force are deposited on the internal surface of the line. The magnetic material is released and discharged together with liquid from the liquid suction line to a state where the effect of the magnetic force generated by the magnet body is cut off.
