    Abstract: An apparatus and method for purifying a forensic sample using an automated extraction and purification system includes optical tweezers; an input channel through which the sample is introduced; a chamber which receives the sample from the input channel; a collection channel through which selected particles of the sample are removed; and an output through which unselected particles of the sample are removed. At least one buffer input channel is provided. The input channel may allow sedimentation of the sample into the chamber by gravity. In another arrangement, the system includes an optical trapping system; a first channel through which the sample is introduced; a second channel through which buffer is introduced; wherein the optical tweezers are used to move selected particles of the sample from the first channel to the second channel. The selected particles may be sperm. The optical tweezers preferably utilize holographic optical trapping.

    Abstract: Methods and devices for evaluating a sample, e.g., a plasma sample, from a subject for detecting a target red blood cell protein or antibody are disclosed. Antibody screening methods and devices significantly reduce the level of non-specific binding to a surface (e.g., a test surface bound with a red blood cell (rbcm) preparation), allowing for more efficient detection and reduced test time. The antibody screening method includes an immunoglobulin G (IgG) binding moiety that binds selectively and specifically to the plasma IgG present relative to the binding to the lysed rbcm preparation. An antibody screening method is disclosed whereby non-specific binding caused by lysed red blood cell membrane preparations can be reduced by an agent that specifically cleaves a human IgG in the hinge region. Additional methods and devices for target capturing include a substantially planar surface having an optimized angle for capture, or alternative solid phase geometries for capture.

    Abstract: Methods and devices for evaluating a sample, e.g., a plasma sample, from a subject, for detecting a target red blood cell protein or antibody are disclosed. In one embodiment, optimized antibody screening methods and devices significantly reduce the level of non-specific binding to a surface (e.g., a test surface bound with a red blood cell (rbcm) preparation), thus allowing for more efficient detection and reduced test time. In one embodiment, the optimized antibody screening method includes an immunoglobulin G (IgG) binding moiety that binds selectively and specifically to the plasma IgG present relative to the binding to the lysed rbcm preparation. In another embodiment, an optimized antibody screening method is disclosed whereby non-specific binding caused by lysed red blood cell membrane preparations can be reduced by an agent that specifically cleaves a human IgG in the hinge region. In other embodiments, the invention provides methods and devices for target capturing that include a substantially planar surface, optionally having an optimized angle, for capture. Alternative solid phase geometries for capture are disclosed. Optimized methods for cell deposition are also disclosed. Thus, optimized methods, devices, kits, assays for evaluating a sample are disclosed.
