| 摘要 |
A nucleic acid amplification assay for quantitative and/or qualitative analysis of the presence of a specific analyte or specific analytes in a biological sample, which analytes, if present, are contained in particles ( 4 ) of the sample ( 2 ), in which assay the sample is forced in a first direction through a filter ( 6 ) that retains the particles ( 4 ). The particles ( 4 ) retained in the filter ( 6 ) are flushed, by a flow ( 8 ), in a second opposite direction through the filter ( 6 ) out of the filter ( 6 ) and the flow ( 8 ) containing the particles ( 4 ) flushed out is analyzed for the analyte or analytes. An arrangement ( 12 ) for preparing the sample ( 2 ) for analysis according to the assay of the invention and to a kit of parts for analyzing the analyte or analytes, which kit includes the arrangement ( 12 ) is also disclosed. |
