摘要:
Disclosed are hydrophilic coatings covalently bound to hydrophobic surfaces as well as methods for their production. To form the coated surfaces, a compound is provided which comprises a hydrophobic domain including an unsaturated group and a hydrophilic domain. Also provided is a hydrophobic surface comprising unsaturated groups. Molecules of the compound are adsorbed onto the hydrophobic surface, and the unsaturated groups in the hydrophobic domains of molecules of the compound then are covalently crosslinked to the unsaturated groups on the hydrophobic surface by a free radical reaction. In one embodiment, hydrophilic coatings may be covalently attached to hydrophobic polymers such as divinylbenzene crosslinked polystyrene. Hydrophilic coatings covalently attached to hydrophobic surfaces are obtained which are stable, which may be readily derivatized, and which are useful in a wide range of chromatography applications.

Disclosed are chromatography methods and matrix geometries which permit high resolution, high productivity separation of mixtures of solutes, particularly biological materials. The method involves passing fluids through specially designed chromatography matrices at high flow rates. The matrices define first and second interconnected sets of pores and a high surface area for solute interaction in fluid communication with the members of the second set of pores. The first and second sets of pores are embodied, for example, as the interstices among particles and throughpores within the particles. The pores are dimensioned such that, at achievable high fluid flow rates, convective flow occurs in both pore sets, and the convective flow rate exceeds the rate of solute diffusion in the second pore set. This approach couples convective and diffusive mass transport to and from the active surface and permits increases in fluid velocity without the normally expected bandspreading.

The methods of the invention exploit the mass-to-charge ratio dependent motion of ions in an electrodynamic ion traps in synergy with a charge quenching process. In an electrodynamic ion trap, each mass-to-charge ratio is characterized by a unique set of frequencies of motion. Accordingly, by tailoring the time-varying electrical potential of the ion trap the invention controls which ions are allowed or retained in the ion trap and which ions are subjected to charge quenching reactions. Control of ion retention and charge quenching is used to improve sample throughput, dynamic mass range and signal discrimination in the mass spectrometry of multiply charged ions.

Disclosed are methods and apparatus for determining the presence of one or more analytes in a sample, wherein the presence of a complex of an analyte and an analyte-specific binding moiety is detected at a location in an elongate pH gradient corresponding to a predetermined isoelectric point of the complex in the gradient. An electric field applied across the elongate pH gradient prior to the detection of the complex transports the complex to the location in the pH gradient corresponding to the predetermined isoelectric point. The analyte-specific binding moiety preferably is provided with a detectable label such as a fluorescent label. A parameter, e.g., fluorescence intensity, indicative of the amount of the complex at the location in the pH gradient corresponding to the predetermined isoelectric point may be determined to quantitate the analyte.

Disclosed is a method and apparatus for the rapid identification of a solute of interest in an effluent stream. The method involves separation of the solutes in the effluent and identification of a particular solute of interest by its selective subtraction from the effluent stream.
