The phrase "alternative approach to isolate" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used when discussing different methods or strategies to achieve isolation in a particular context, such as scientific research or problem-solving.
Example: "We are exploring an alternative approach to isolate the specific compound from the mixture."
Alternatives: "different method to separate" or "alternative method for isolation".
In an alternative approach to isolate particular genes, Stefan Kappe and colleagues at the Seattle Biomedical Research Institute successfully used human-liver-chimeric mice for genetic crosses of P. falciparum (Nat. Methods 12, 631 633; 2015).
The use of mutants is an alternative approach to isolate causal genes for traits of interest.
Integrated microfluidic circuit (IFC) chips offer an alternative approach to isolate and process cells individually by capturing them in small chambers [37].
An alternative approach to isolate nucleosomal DNA was employed in Yuan et al. [5] and Lee et al. [6], in which micrococcal nuclease (MN) was used to digest the linker DNA.
An alternative approach to isolate EPCs from peripheral or umbilical cord blood utilizes in vitro culture and this consistently produces two distinct EPC subtypes which have been named as early EPCs (eEPCs) and Outgrowth endothelial cells (OECs) [ 11].
An alternative approach to isolating the genomic regions influencing G × G interactions would be to perform nested association mapping (NAM) (Yu et al. 2008).
An alternative approach to evaluate the role of hydroxycinnamic acids in cell wall digestibility and develop an efficient approach to isolate protoplasts from American elm was to inhibit their biosynthesis.
As an alternative approach to demonstrate that ETR1 isolated from Arabidopsis is part of a multiprotein complex, we tested the ability of base treatment to remove peripheral proteins from ETR1.
An alternative approach to studying overall regional brain expression is high resolution analysis of specific cells isolated from tissues using laser capture microdissection (30), although this approach is not currently practical for large-scale studies.
As an alternative approach to the addition of defined bacterial species, germ-free mice can also be colonized with a complex consortium of bacteria isolated from conventional or SPF mice or humans.
An alternative approach to the CSC problem was used by Pece et al., who, by exploiting the quiescent nature of normal mammary stem cells, isolated sufficient numbers to derive a gene expression signature [ 2].
