A recovery method for specific micromaterials such as DNA molecules, cells, microorganisms and the like, approximately several µm in size, from a mixture containing other micromaterials is presented. A substance (for example, methylcellulose) that undergoes a reversible gel to sol phase transition is utilized, and a micromaterial is accurately and conveniently recovered. The present invention is a method of recovering a desired micromaterial in a system comprising a medium that undergoes a reversible phase transition between a sol and a gel, a support material and micromaterials, comprising the steps of converting the medium surrounding the micromaterial to be recovered into a gel locally to immobilize said micromaterial on said support along with the gelled medium, removing the medium and micromaterials not immobilized on said support material and converting the gelled medium to a sol to recover the micromaterial.

Procédé permettant de prélever un micromatériau spécifique tel qu'une molécule d'ADN ou une cellule de la taille de plusieurs mu m dans un mélange d'autres micromatériaux. On prélève donc avec une haute précision et de manière adaptée un micromatériau au moyen d'une substance (telle qu'une méthylcellulose) capable d'induire une transition de phase sol-gel réversible. L'invention porte notamment sur un procédé visant à prélever un micromatériau désiré dans un système constitué d'un milieu capable d'induire une transition de phase sol-gel réversible, d'un support et de micromatériaux. Le milieu et le support sont transformés localement en un gel entourant le micromatériau à prélever de façon à fixer le micromatériau et le milieu à l'état de gel sur le support. Le milieu et les micromatériaux non fixés sur le support sont éliminés. Le milieu à l'état de gel est ensuite transformé en un sol de façon à prélever le micromatériau désiré.
