Title:
METHOD FOR PROCESSING BIOLOGICAL SAMPLES
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2001020042
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
Methods, compositions and systems for processing biological samples employ microparticulate separation reagents to capture a target species from a biological sample. Photoactivation of a photoaffinity label coupled to the separation reagent creates a covalent adduct of the separation reagent and target species. The adduct is captured and DNA from the target species is analyzed using known techniques. Capture is accomplished using magnetic beads, filtration, centrifugation or other separation techniques. The method of the invention is amenable to complete automation.
