Abstract: The invention describes an appliance and a method, with the help of which specific bio-particles, but also dissolved bio-molecules can be recognized in and separated from fluids making use of suitable carriers and known immobilization methods. The appliance can be used both discontinuously and also for direct and continuous treatment of fluids. Fields of application of the invention are animals, bio-technology (including biological research) and medicinal diagnostics. Areas of application of the invention comprise, among others, therapy of humans, in particular direct treatment of blood.

Abstract: The invention describes an easy method for the gentle separation of cells and/or particles from liquids, preferably blood. For that purpose known steps of magnetic separation procedures are combined with capture particle-assisted separating methods.
