    Abstract: Methods, kits, and systems are provided for separating, immobilizing, and/or detecting analytes of one or more samples using dipsticks. A ‘dipstick’ is an object that can be embedded and subsequently removed from a separation medium, and to which analytes can be immobilized while the object is embedded in the separation medium. Examples of separation media include an electrophoresis gel of any format and a stationary phase for column chromatography. Embodiments of the present methods include applying a sample to a separation medium; separating analytes of the sample in the separation medium along a separation axis; immobilizing the analytes on a dipstick embedded in the separation medium; removing the dipstick from the separation medium; and detecting the analytes immobilized on the removed dipstick.

    Abstract: Molecular species that are immobilized in discrete locations on a planar support such as protein bands on a gel or a blotting membrane or species applied in dots or spots on a membrane are reacted with binding reagents that are applied through a porous hydrophilic transfer sheet placed over the planar support, the sheet having at least one region that is laterally bordered by a barrier with the binding reagent retained within the bordered region. The bordered region is placed directly over an area on the planar support where the molecular species are expected to reside if they are present on the support. The binding reagent is then delivered into the support to contact the species. Targeted delivery of the binding reagent is thus achieved with improved efficiency.

    Abstract: A method is provided for detecting a protein using a cyclodextrin covalently linked to at least one label. The cyclodextrin can associate with the protein by sequestering an aromatic amino acid side-chain of the protein in its hydrophobic cavity. After contacting the protein with the cyclodextrin, the label can be detected directly or can undergo a chemical interaction with a reagent to form a detectable product. The label can include an indole moiety, which can react with a halo-substituted organic compound upon exposure to UV light and thereby be rendered fluorescent. Alternatively, the label can include a biotin moiety, which can bind to a binding partner such as avidin, or variants thereof, to form a detectable molecular complex. A labeled cyclodextrin can be used in the present methods to detect a protein of interest in an electrophoresis gel or on a blotting membrane. Aromatic amino acid residues of the protein, in particular tryptophan, remain protected from chemical modification due to sequestration by the cyclodextrin, making these methods compatible with downstream applications that require intact protein. Also provided herein are compositions, kits, and electrophoresis gels for use in detecting proteins.

    Abstract: Systems and methods for substantially simultaneously exciting a fluorescently labeled specimen and capturing fluorescent light emitted therefrom using a smartphone, tablet, or similar mobile computing device, are disclosed herein. The system includes a light-emitting diode (“LED”) light source coupled with the smartphone to excite the specimen and an imaging device coupled with the smartphone to capture fluorescent light emitted from the specimen. The system further includes a hood adapted to be coupled with the smartphone that has an excitation filter configured to produce a first wavelength of electromagnetic radiation to strike the specimen when light from the LED light source passes through it and an emission filter configured to receive the light emitted from the specimen and to produce a second wavelength of electromagnetic radiation to be captured by the imaging device.

    Abstract: Systems for protein quantitation using a Fabry-Perot interferometer. In one arrangement, a quantitation device includes an infrared source, a sample holder, and a Fabry-Perot interferometer positioned to receive infrared radiation from the source passing through a sample on the sample holder. A band pass optical filter sets the working range of the interferometer, and radiation exiting the interferometer falls on a detector that produces a signal indicating the intensity of the received radiation. A controller causes the interferometer to be tuned to a number of different resonance wavelengths and receives the intensity signals, for determination of an absorbance spectrum.
