    摘要: An apparatus and method for carrying out the affinity separation of a target substance from a liquid test medium by mixing magnetic particles having surface immobilized ligand or receptor within the test medium to promote an affinity binding reaction between the ligand and the target substance. The test medium with the magnetic particles in a suitable container is removably mounted in an apparatus that creates a magnetic field gradient in the test medium. This magnetic gradient is used to induce the magnetic particles to move, thereby effecting mixing. The mixing is achieved either by movement of a magnet relative to a stationary container or movement of the container relative to a stationary magnet. In either case, the magnetic particles experience a continuous angular position change with the magnet. Concurrently with the relative angular movement between the magnet and the magnetic particles, the magnet is also moved along the length of the container causing the magnetic field gradient to sweep the entire length of the container. After the desired time, sufficient for the affinity reaction to occur, movement of the magnetic gradient is ended, whereby the magnetic particles are immobilized on the inside wall of the container nearest to the magnetic source. The remaining test medium is removed while the magnetic particles are retained on the wall of the container. The test medium or the particles may then be subjected to further processing.

    摘要: An apparatus and method for carrying out the affinity separation of a target substance from a test medium operates by mixing magnetic particles having surface immobilized ligand or receptor with the test medium to promote affinity binding reaction between the ligand and the target substance. The test medium with the magnetic particles in a suitable container is removably mounted in an apparatus of the present invention and magnetic field gradient is created in the test medium. This gradient induces the magnetic particles to move relative to the test medium, thereby effecting mixing. Depending on the embodiment employed, the mixing is achieved either by the movement of an electromagnet or a permanent magnet relative to a stationary container or the movement of the container relative to a stationary magnetic source. After sufficient time for the affinity reaction to occur, the movement of the magnetic gradient is ended, whereby magnetic particles are immobilized on the inside wall of the container nearest to the magnetic source. The remaining test medium is removed while the magnetic particles are retained on the walls of the container and the test medium or the particles subjected to further processing.

    摘要: An apparatus is described for mixing and separating magnetic particles comprising:

    at least one linear array of containers (135; 145; 154A);
    each container (135; 145; 154A) having a liquid and said particles therein;
    at least two linear arrays (-; 146A, 146B; 151, 152) of magnetic sources (134; 147; 155) arranged in a linear pattern near said array of containers (135; 145; 154A);
    means providing linear movement between said one array of containers (135; 145; 154A) and said two arrays (-; 146A, 146B; 151, 152) of magnetic sources (134; 147; 155); and
    means for stopping said linear movement whereby said particles become immobilized as a relatively compact mass aggregate on the inside walls of said containers (135; 145; 154A) nearest said magnetic sources. Methods for mixing and separating particles are also described.
