ABSTRACT:
Novel magnetic assay methods and systems. According to a preferred embodiment, a chromatographic medium is provided that is designed to be contacted with a test solution having activated magnetic particles such that the solution flows bilaterally thereacross. A magnetic field, generated by a magnet or electromagnet, is selectively applied to the medium which causes the charged particles to become substantially bound at a site on the medium specified by the position of the magnet. The assay is multi-configurable and can be modified to isolate target cells and grow cell cultures.
