    摘要: A system that incorporates teachings of the subject disclosure may include, for example, a process that includes obtaining a porous medium comprising a porous material having a first shape and an initial porosity profile. The porous medium is engaged with a cavity in a fluidic device, wherein the cavity is in fluid communication with a channel of the fluidic device. The first shape of the porous material can be adjusted to a second shape resulting in the initial porosity profile being adjusted to a target porosity profile. Such adjustment can be accomplished by the engaging of the porous medium with the cavity, by pre-adjusting a shape of the porous media before insertion into the cavity, or by some combination thereof. Other embodiments are disclosed.

    摘要: The present disclosure describes methods for analyzing mRNA poly(A) tail sequences with a high resolution to determine poly(A) tail length and heterogeneity. The method involves digesting an mRNA molecule to liberate a poly(A) tail, preparing a chromatographic sample comprising the mRNA poly(A) tails, preparing a second chromatographic sample comprising a reference sequence comprising a mRNA poly(A) tails having a predetermined length, separating the first and second samples by a chromatography method, which result in one or more chromatograms, and determining a sequence length of the mRNA poly(A) tails by comparing the chromatograms of the first and second samples. Chromatography methods for analyzing the poly(A) tail may include ultraviolet size-exclusion chromatography (SEC UV), ultraviolet ion-pair reversed-phase liquid chromatography (IP RP LC UV), ultra high performance liquid chromatography (UPHLC), and combinations thereof.

    摘要: Described is a method for determining a dwell volume of a liquid chromatography system and a liquid chromatography system that can determined the system dwell volume. The method includes mixing a flow of a first solvent with a flow of a second solvent to form a solvent mixture. The flows of the first and second solvents are decreased and increased, respectively, to generate a gradient composition. A system pressure of the liquid chromatography system is measured to determine a pressure trace defined as the measured system pressure as a function of time. The dwell volume of the system is determined from a time delay determined between the gradient composition at the mixing location and the pressure trace. The method can be performed with a liquid chromatography system having a chromatographic column or a flow restrictor used in place of the chromatographic column.
