摘要:
The disclosure relates to obstacle array devices (also known as bump array devices) for separating populations of particles by size. Improvements over previous obstacle array devices are realized by causing the fluid velocity profile across gaps between obstacles to be asymmetrical with respect to the plane that bisects the gap and is parallel to the direction of bulk fluid flow. Such asymmetry can be achieved by selecting the shape(s) of the obstacles bounding the gap such that the portions of the obstacles upstream from, downstream from, or bridging the narrowest portion of the gap are asymmetrical with respect to that plane. Improvements are also realized by using obstacles that have sharp edges bounding the gaps. Other improvements are realized by selecting obstacle shapes such that the critical particle dimensions defined by the gaps in two different fluid flow directions differ.
摘要:
Devices and associated processes suitable for small and large scale purification of molecules in a fluid, and provides embodiments that overcome the difficulties of transitioning purification from research stages to production scale-up. The invention relates to the formation and characteristics of substantially uniform, continuous, and homogeneous porous separation matrices. The matrices are in the form of a polymeric layer with substantially uniform thickness and porosity. The polymeric layer is formed for the purpose of providing convective flow through the separation matrix.

Photopolymerization of styrenic monomers using bis-acyl-phosphine oxide initiators is provided, with illumination using visible wavelength blue (LED) light through the marginally-transparent polyimide protective coatings found on standard fused-silica capillaries. The methods are useful for preparing porous polymer layers on the interior of columns such as that required for porous layer open tubular (PLOT) type gas chromatography (GC).

Methods and devices based on capillary monolithic columns, preferably consisting of an underivatized poly(styrene-divinylbenzene) monolith, for separating a mixture of polynucleotides by ion pair-reverse phase-high performance chromatography (IP-RP-HPLC). In various aspects of the method and device the monolith is characterized by one or more of the following: the monolith is contained within a capillary tube; the monolith is immobilized by covalent attachment at the inner wall of the tube; the tube is devoid of retaining frits; the monolith is characterized by having above 10,000 theoretical plates per meter and preferably above 200,000 theoretical plates per meter; the method uses a mobile phase which is devoid of EDTA; the monolith has a surface morphology that is rugulose or brush-like; the chromatographic surfaces of the monolith are non-porous; the monolith has channels sufficiently large for convective flow of the mobile phase; the monolith is formed from a polymerization mixture including underivatized styrene, a crosslinking agent, and a porogen, wherein the porogen includes tetrahydrofuran. The monolith can be incorporated into a miniaturized chromatography system which can be coupled to a mass spectrometer for on-line separation and mass determination of single- or double-stranded polynucleotides.
