CARTRIDGE FOR USE IN AN AUTOMATED SYSTEM FOR ISOLATING AN ANALYTE FROM A SAMPLE, AND METHODS OF USE

摘要

A device for extraction or isolation of an analyte, such as a nucleic acid, a protein, or a cell, from a sample, and in particular from a biological sample, is described. Methods of using the device are also described. Further processes, such as amplification of the isolated analyte, may also be carried out within the device.
