Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
This disclosure is directed to an apparatus, system and method for retrieving target material from a suspension. A system includes a processing vessel, such as an Eppendorf tube, a syringe or a test tube, and a collector. The collector is sized and shaped to fit into a primary vessel, such as a test tube. The collector funnels the target material from the suspension through a cannula and into the processing vessel. The cannula extends into a cavity at a first end of the collector that holds the processing vessel. The collector includes a concave opening at a second end in fluid communication with the cannula. In one implementation, the processing vessel includes at least one displacement fluid to be expelled, such that the at least one displacement fluid pushes the target material into the collector.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
We claim: 1. A method for collecting target material from a sample, the method comprising the steps of: inserting a collector into an open end of a primary vessel that contains the sample; inserting an n th processing vessel into a cavity within the collector, adding an n th displacement fluid to the n th processing vessel, the n th displacement fluid having a density greater than an n th sub-fraction of a fraction of the sample, the n th sub-fraction including at least…
