Figure 1

Comparison of different recovery methods, antibodies and immunomagnetic beads for the recovery of Y. pestis. (a) Pathatrix beads functionalized with polyclonal and monoclonal antibodies were compared for Y. pestis recovery using the iCropTheBug. The iCropTheBug and Pathatrix Auto systems were compared for recovery using Pathatrix beads functionalized with polyclonal antibody. (b) Pathatrix beads and NRC beads functionalized with polyclonal antibodies were compared using the iCropTheBug.
