1. A method of processing sample material comprising:
- providing a device comprising a process chamber array, wherein the process chamber array comprises a first chamber and a second chamber;
providing sample material in the process chamber array;
moving the sample material within the process chamber array by rotating the device;
providing paramagnetic particles within the sample material located in the process chamber array;
locating a magnet proximate the device; and
rotating the device such that the paramagnetic particles within the sample material in the process chamber array are intermittently subjected to the magnetic field of the magnet during the rotating.

14. A method of processing sample material comprising:
-
providing a device comprising a process chamber array that comprises a first chamber and a second chamber; providing sample material in the process chamber array; providing paramagnetic particles within the sample material located in the process chamber array; locating a magnet proximate the device; and mixing the paramagnetic particles within the sample material by rotating the device such that the paramagnetic particles are moved within the sample material in the process chamber array as the paramagnetic particles are moved through the magnetic field of the magnet. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19)

20. A method of processing sample material comprising:
-
providing a device comprising a process chamber array, wherein the process chamber array comprises a first chamber and a second chamber; providing sample material in the process chamber array; moving the sample material within the process chamber array by rotating the device; providing paramagnetic particles within the sample material located in the process chamber array; rotating the device; and locating a magnet proximate the device, such that the paramagnetic particles within the sample material in the process chamber array move into and out of strongest portions of the magnetic field of the magnet as the device is rotated.
