  • CAPTURING, CONCENTRATING, AND DETECTING MICROBES IN A SAMPLE USING MAGNETIC IONIC LIQUIDS AND RECOMBINASE POLYMERASE AMPLIFICATION
    Publication number: 20240336982
    Abstract: In this disclosure, a method or kit for using the method of extracting, concentrating, and detecting microbes from a sample is disclosed. The method disclosed herein use transition or rare earth metal-based magnetic ionic liquids (MILs) to extract viable microbes from a sample and to detect them via an amplification-based method and/or a non-amplification-based methods. The method and kit can be used in-field and on-site for detection of viable microbes in a sample within about an hour, without using any powered heat source or powered tool.
    Type: Application
