A METHOD AND A DEVICE FOR ISOLATION OF PATHOGENS

摘要

To provide a method (6) of isolation of pathogens from a sample, the method (6) comprising the steps of coating a matrix (2) at least partly with pathogen binding proteins (4,5) to form an affinity matrix (1); contacting said sample with said affinity matrix (1) forming a complex thereby; and isolating said complex, and to provide a device (1) for isolation of pathogens from a sample, the device (1) comprising an affinity matrix (1) including a matrix (2); and a protein coating at least partly coating said matrix (2); it is suggested that the protein coating around said matrix (2) is of a combination of two or more types of pathogen binding proteins (4,5).
