1. A device for preparing a sample for an analysis, comprising:
- means for binding at least one biological structure of the sample;
means for releasing at least one biological molecule contained in the at least one biological structure;
means for binding the at least one released biological molecule; and
at least one magnetic field generator to move the means for binding the at least one biological structure and the means for binding the at least one biological molecule.

Abstract
A device and method are disclosed for preparing a sample for an analysis and a device and method are disclosed for analyzing a sample. In at least one embodiment, a device is disclosed for preparing a sample for analysis including means for binding at lest one biological structure of the sample, means for releasing at least one biological molecule contained in the at least one structure, and means for binding the at least one released molecule. The means for binding the at least one structure and the means for binding the at least one molecule can move.

42. A method for preparing a sample using a device including means for binding at least one biological structure of the sample, means for releasing at least one biological molecule contained in the at least one biological structure, means for binding the at least one released biological molecule, and at least one magnetic field generator to move the means for binding the at least one biological structure and the means for binding the at least one biological molecule, the method comprising:
-
binding the at least one biological structure of the sample with the means for binding the structure; moving the bound at least one biological structure with the at least one magnetic field generator; releasing the at least one biological molecule contained in the bound at least one biological structure; and binding the released at least one biological molecule with the means for binding the molecule. - View Dependent Claims (43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 56, 57, 58, 59, 60, 61, 62, 63, 64, 65, 66, 67)
