APPARATUD, SYSTEM, AND METHOD FOR COLLECTING A TARGET MATERIAL

摘要

This disclosure is directed to an apparatus, system and method for retrieving a target material from a sample. A first depletion agent may be added to a vessel that contains the sample to change the density of a non-target material.

主权项

1. A method for collecting a target material from a suspension, the method comprising the steps of:
inserting a device comprising a cannula into an open end of a primary vessel comprising the suspension; removably mating a processing vessel with the device, wherein the cannula extends into the processing vessel; adding a collection fluid to the processing vessel, the displacement fluid comprising a density greater than a density of the target material; and centrifuging the primary vessel, the device, the displacement fluid, and the processing vessel, wherein during centrifuging, the displacement fluid flows into the primary vessel via the device to displace the target material from the primary vessel, which flows into the processing vessel through the device via the cannula.
