Immunomagnetic separation

The immunomagnetic separation (IMS) is a laboratory method, may be removed from body fluids or cell cultures, the cells effectively. It can also be used to quantify the pathogenicity of blood, food or feces. With antibody -coated paramagnetic beads bind specific cell components on the host surface, thereby catching one of these cells. Subsequently, a magnet is attached to the outer side of the test vessel, attracts the bound cells to the beads, and thereby concentrated.

An alternative separation method is the affinity magnetic separation ( AMS), which is better suited for the isolation of prokaryotic cells.
