    摘要: A method of characterizing a polypeptide, comprising providing a first capillary channel having a separation buffer disposed within, wherein the separation buffer comprises a non-crosslinked polymer solution, a buffering agent, a detergent, and a lipophilic dye. The separation buffer is provided such that, at the time of detection, the detergent concentration in the buffer is not above the critical micelle concentration. The polypeptide is introduced into one end of the capillary channel. An electric field is applied across a length of the capillary channel, which transports polypeptides of different sizes through the polymer solution at different rates. The polypeptide is then detected as it passes a point along the length of the capillary channel.

    摘要: Methods are provided for detecting low copy nucleic acids of interest in a sample. In one method, a sample comprising a nucleic acid of interest is aliquotted into a plurality of reaction mixtures, at least two of which are single-copy reaction mixtures. The reaction mixtures are subjected to one or more amplification reactions while flowing through a channel of a microfluidic device. At least one of the reaction mixtures is formulated in an aqueous phase of an emulsion comprising aqueous droplets suspended in an immiscible liquid. The nucleic acid of interest is present as a single copy in at least one aqueous droplet of the aqueous phase prior to performing the amplification reaction(s). Amplification is performed on the reaction mixture when it is formulated in the emulsion. The nucleic acid is continuously flowed during a plurality of steps of the method.

    摘要: Methods and systems for use in separating sample materials into different fractions employing pressure-based fluid flow for simultaneous loading of a sample and a reagent into a sample loading channel of a microfluidic device. The sample is loaded from an external source through an attached external sampling capillary. The reagent, which may be a molecular weight standard, a diluent, a detergent, or a labeling reagent, is loaded from a reservoir integral to the microfluidic device via a reagent introduction channel within the device. The sample and reagent form a mixture in the sample loading channel. A portion of the mixture is electrokinetically injected from the sample loading channel, via an injection channel, into a separation channel, where it is separated electrophoretically.
