Device for binding molecules, molecular groups, molecular parts and/or cells

Abstract

The present invention relates to a device for binding molecules, molecular groups, molecular parts and/or cells contained in a liquid to target structures, the device having at least one object holder with at least one target structure firmly held therein and which contacts at least one duct made of at least one material. One aperture of the duct is a liquid inlet aperture, and a second aperture is a liquid outlet aperture. At least one object holder thermostat is used for cooling the object holder.

         14 . A method for binding molecules, molecular groups, molecular parts and/or cells contained in a liquid to target structures wherein said method comprises the following steps: 
 a. passing liquid through a duct and over an object holder with a target structure firmly held therein,    b. removing any non-binding matter via a second aperture of said duct and collecting said matter in a vessel,    c. cooling said object holder by means of an object holder thermostat, and    d. fixing the molecules, molecular groups, molecular parts and/or cells binding to said object holder.
