Concentrating, and optionally detecting, germs in blood products, useful for assessing contamination, based on selective aggregation, lysis and filtration

摘要

Concentrating (M) contaminating germs (A) that may be present in a product containing blood cells (BC) comprising: (a) aggregating BC; (b) removing aggregates on a first filter that allows (A) to pass through; (c) selective lysis of residual cells in the filtrate; and (d) removing (A) from the lysate on a second filter that allows cell debris to pass through, is new. An Independent claim is also included for a device for carrying out M.
