Grammar

Isolate A from B

I have two questions about "Isolate A from B".

1. Should A and B belong to the same category?

May I use "isolate an element from an operation" in my writing? I mean the element is not affected by the operation.

2. Does "isolate" imply something bad?

I want to use the "Isolate A from B" , adding that it results in a good thing.
