Devices and methods for processing a biological sample

Abstract

Aspects of the present disclosure include methods for processing a biological sample. Methods according to certain embodiments include disrupting a biological sample to produce a disrupted biological sample and acoustically separating larger components from smaller components in the disrupted biological sample. In certain embodiments, methods may include monitoring aggregation while the biological sample is being processed. Methods, in certain instances, also include acoustically separating cells from cellular debris and non-cellular macromolecules as well as magnetically separating magnetically labelled moieties from unlabeled moieties. Systems, including a disrupter, one or more acoustic concentrator devices, feedback monitors and magnetic separation devices suitable for practicing the subject methods are also described.
