摘要:
A free-flow electrophoresis apparatus introduces a pressure-driven flow laterally through the sidewalls of a separation chamber. A neutral solute is hydrodynamically focused by the lateral flow before being collected through an outlet at a bottom of the chamber. Meanwhile, charged solutes are removed from the neutral solute stream by application of an electric field. As a result, the neutral solute is both concentrated and isolated from a complex mixture. This purification technique is also versatile, as a pH of the separation medium may be chosen to match a pI of the desired solute.

The present invention provides a mobility electrophoresis separation device, its operating method, and an interface between liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry. The mobility electrophoresis separation device comprises a separation capillary, a syringe pump for injecting a buffer solution, a syringe for injecting a sample solution, and two electrodes disposed apart from each other on either side of the separation capillary. A sample solution is injected by a syringe at a position of the capillary channel, and a buffer solution is injected into the capillary channel upstream the first position, and carries the sample solution to flow downstream. While the mixed liquid flows through the capillary, an electric field is applied in the direction of the flow. Different ions in the sample are thus separated in the flow due to their different velocities traveling in the flow.

A method of driving an element of an active matrix electro-wetting on dielectric (AM-EWOD) device comprise applying a first alternating voltage to a reference electrode of the AM-EWOD device; and either (i) applying to the element electrode a second alternating voltage that has the same frequency as the first alternating voltage and that is out of phase with the first alternating voltage or (ii) holding the element electrode in a high impedance state. The effect of applying the second alternating voltage to the element electrode is to put the element in an actuated state in which the element is configured to actuate any liquid droplet present in the element, while the effect of holding the element electrode in the high impedance state is to put the element in a non-actuated state.

Various embodiments described in the application relate to an apparatus, system, and method for generating, within a conduit, discrete volumes of one or more fluids that are immiscible with a second fluid. The discrete volumes can be used for biochemical or molecular biology procedures involving small volumes, for example, microliter-sized volumes, nanoliter-sized volumes, or smaller. The system can comprise an apparatus comprising at least one conduit operatively connected to one or more pumps for providing discrete volumes separated from one another by a fluid that is immiscible with the fluid(s) of the discrete volumes, for example, aqueous immiscible-fluid-discrete volumes separated by an oil.
