摘要:
The invention provides extraction columns for the purification of an analyte (e.g., a biological macromolecule, such as a peptide, protein or nucleic acid) from a sample solution, as well as methods for making and using such columns. The invention is characterized by the use of low dead volume columns, which is achieved in part by the use of low pore volume frits (e.g., membrane screens) to contain a bed of extraction media in the column. Low dead volume facilitates the elution of the captured analyte into a very small volume of desorption solution, allowing for the preparation of low volume samples containing relatively high concentrations of analyte.

摘要:
The invention provides, inter alia, methods of extracting an analyte from a solution comprising the steps of: passing a solution containing an analyte through an extraction channel having a solid phase extraction surface, whereby analyte adsorbs to the extraction surface of said extraction channel; purging bulk liquid from said extraction channel; and eluting the analyte by passing a desorption solvent through the channel. In some embodiments, the analyte is a protein. The invention further provides reagents, channels, columns and instrumentation related to this and other methods.
摘要:
A Matched Ion Polynucleotide Chromatography method and system for size-based segregation of a mixture of RNA molecules. The method includes applying the mixture to a polymeric separation medium having non-polar surfaces and eluting the RNA molecules with a mobile phase which includes counterion reagent and an organic component. The preferred surfaces are characterized by being substantially free from multivalent cations which are free to interfere with RNA segregation. The elution is preferably performed at a temperature sufficient to denature the RNA. The method can be used in segregating RNA molecules having lengths in the range of about 100 to 20,000 nucleotides. Improved segregation is obtained using a chromatography column having an ID greater than about 5 mm. Examples of separation media include beads and monolithic columns.

The invention provides extraction columns for the purification of an analyte (e.g., a biological macromolecule, such as a peptide, protein or nucleic acid) from a sample solution, as well as methods for making and using such columns. The columns typically include a bed of extraction media positioned in the column between two frits. In some embodiments, the extraction columns employ modified pipette tips as column bodies. In some embodiments, the invention provides methods of storing columns in a wet state.

The disclosure describes an ambient or low pressure device for separating polynucleotide fragments from a mixture of polynucleotide fragments comprises a tube having an upper solution input chamber, a lower eluant receiving chamber, and a fixed unit of separation media supported therein. The separation media has nonpolar separation surfaces which are free from multivalent cations which would react with counterion to form an insoluble polar coating on the surface of the separation media.
摘要:
A method for removing a target DNA fragment having a predetermined base-pair length from a mixture of DNA fragments comprises the following steps. A mixture of DNA fragments which may contain the target DNA fragments is applied to a separation column containing media having a nonpolar, nonporous surface, the mixture of DNA fragments being in a first solvent mixture containing a counterion and a DNA binding concentration of driving solvent in a cosolvent. The target DNA fragments are separated from the media by contacting it with a second solvent solution containing a counterion and a concentration of driving solvent in cosolvent which has been predetermined to remove DNA fragments having the target DNA fragment base pair length from the media. The target DNA fragments can be collected and optionally amplified. When the method is being applied to collect a putative fragment, if present, no DNA fragments having the base pair length of the target DNA could be present in the mixture. Alternatively, DNA fragments having the base pair length of the target DNA are present in the mixture. The disclosure also describes an ambient or low pressure device for separating polynucleotide fragments from a mixture of polynucleotide fragments comprises a tube having an upper solution input chamber, a lower eluant receiving chamber, and a fixed unit of separation media supported therein. The separation media has nonpolar separation surfaces which are free from multivalent cations which would react with counterion to form an insoluble polar coating on the surface of the separation media.
