PROCESSING OF BIOLOGICAL SAMPLE COMPONENTS

摘要

The invention relates to means for processing a sample fluid containing different components, particularly magnetic particles (M) and targets (cells) (C+M) labeled with magnetic particles. A processing device(100) according to the invention comprises a container (110) with a first compartment (120) that can be filled with a sample fluid and that is separated from a second compartment (130) by a filtering element (140). The filtering element (140) allows the passage of only at least one selected component(M) of the sample. Moreover, an optical surface (150), for example a microscopy slide, is provided in one (120) of the compartments. Components (C+M) of the sample that are in this compartment (120) collect on the optical surface (150). The migration of sample components (M, C+M) is preferably assisted by magnetic fields (B1, B2).
