MATERIALS AND METHOD FOR IMMOBILIZING, ISOLATING, AND CONCENTRATING CELLS USING CARBOXYLATED SURFACES

摘要

The present disclosure relates to immobilization of a cell using a carboxylated surface by contacting the carboxylated surface with a sample comprising the cell for a sufficient time to permit the cell to bind to the carboxylated surface. The immobilized cell may then be separated from the remainder of the sample and further manipulated to isolate, concentrate, and/or analyze the cell or a component thereof.
