Abstract
The present invention relates to a biopsy instrument, comprising the following components: i. a guide element (1) comprising a spring-elastic distal (2) region and a proximal (3) region; ii. a biofunctionalized element (4) arranged between the distal and the proximal region of the guide element and whose surface has detection molecules, and iii. a stabilizing element (5) connected to the proximal region of the guide element. The invention further relates to the use of said biopsy instrument for enriching specific sample material from the body as well as to a biopsy kit and the use of the same for enriching specific sample material.
Claims34
A biopsy instrument for the enrichment of sample material, comprising,
- i. a guide element comprising a spring-elastic distal portion and a proximal portion,
- ii. a biofunction element that is fitted between the distal and proximal portions of the guide element, the a surface of which shows the-detecting molecules, and
- iii. a stabilizing element connected with the proximal portion of the guide element.
Biopsy kit for enrichment of sample material, comprising:
- i. a guide element comprising a spring-elastic distal portion and a proximal portion,
- ii. one or more biofunction elements that are fitted between the distal and proximal portions of the guide element, wherein on the surface of at least one biofunction element detecting molecules have been applied, and
- iii. a stabilizing element connected with the proximal portion of the guide element,
- wherein the guide element, the biofunction element, and the stabilizing element are sequentially arranged from distally to proximally.
Method of enriching a sample material, comprising providing the kit of claim 22 and enriching the sample material via said kit.
