| 摘要 |
The invention generally relates to using magnetic particles and magnets to isolate a target analyte from a sample. In certain embodiments, methods of the invention involve introducing to a sample at least one set of magnetic particles having at least one type of lectin in order to create a mixture, incubating the mixture such that the lectin binds to a carbohydrate on a surface of a target in the sample to thereby form target/particle complexes, in which the incubating is performed in the presence of a buffer that influences binding, and applying a magnetic field to separate target/particle complexes from remaining components of the sample, thereby isolating target/magnetic particle complexes.
