摘要:
The invention generally relates to conducting an assay on a sample that isolates a pathogen from the sample and allows for analysis of the pathogen with minimal (i.e., at most 24 hrs of culturing) or no culturing of the pathogen. In certain embodiments, the invention provides methods for identifying a pathogen from a sample that involve obtaining a sample including a pathogen, conducting an assay that isolates the pathogen from the sample, culturing the isolated pathogen for at most about 24 hrs, and analyzing the pathogen.

摘要:
The invention generally relates to using magnetic particles and magnets to isolate a target analyte from a sample. In certain embodiments, methods of the invention involve introducing to a sample at least one set of magnetic particles having at least one type of lectin in order to create a mixture, incubating the mixture such that the lectin binds to a carbohydrate on a surface of a target in the sample to thereby form target/particle complexes, in which the incubating is performed in the presence of a buffer that influences binding, and applying a magnetic field to separate target/particle complexes from remaining components of the sample, thereby isolating target/magnetic particle complexes.
