Claim Text:
1. A system to lyse specimens and isolate specific biological materials from the lysed specimens, the system comprising: a chamber to receive a specimen containing a biological material to be isolated therefrom, the chamber comprising: a medium that includes the particulate lysing material and a fluid, the particulate lysing material having an affinity for the biological material in the presence of the fluid and the fluid having a physical characteristic that induces binding of the biological material to the particulate lysing material, the affinity sufficient to bind at least some of the biological material to at least some of the particulate lysing material in the presence of the fluid; and an agitator selectively operable to agitate the specimen in the chamber along with the medium that includes the particulate lysing material and the fluid to mechanically lyse the specimen and concurrently bind at least some of the biological material to at least some of the particulate lysing material.
