Abstract:
1. A method for isolating target molecules from a sample, comprising: (a) directing a sample comprising target molecules to be isolated through a microfluidic carrier having an array of a plurality of different receptors which are immobilized on or in the carrier and each of which are immobilized in different positions, wherein only a single receptor species is immobilized in one predetermined position, under conditions under which target molecules in said sample can specifically bind to said receptors, (b) removing unbound material of the sample from the carrier, (c) eluting the target molecules bound to the carrier in parallel and, (d) collecting said eluted target molecules, wherein a set of different hybridization probes is used for isolation of a singular target nucleic acid, and wherein the different hybridization probes are specific for the single particular target nucleic acid.
