First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method to separate biological entities with magnetic labels from a fluid sample comprising steps of:
- passing said fluid sample through a channel positioned in contact with a separation magnet by a first surface of said channel wherein said channel is attached to a channel holder;
said separation magnet separating said biological entities with magnetic labels from said fluid sample to form a magnetic conglomerate on internal surface of said channel opposing said first surface;
detaching said channel from said separation magnet and positioning said holder in contact with a mechanical excitation means; and
causing dissociation of said magnetic conglomerate using said mechanical excitation means.
