  • Publication number: 20240050874
    Abstract: Devices and methods for separating multi-phase fluids, comprising a first porous medium portion and a second porous medium portion. The device comprises a fluidic channel comprising an inlet; the first porous medium portion between the fluidic channel and a first auxiliary outlet; and the second porous medium portion between the fluidic channel and a second auxiliary outlet. The method comprises presenting a combined flow comprising a first fluid phase and a second fluid phase to a separator, wherein the first porous medium portion has a higher affinity for the first fluid phase than for the second fluid phase, and the second porous medium portion has a higher affinity for the second fluid phase than for the first fluid phase.

  • Patent number: 11878996
    Abstract: Systems and processes for performing solid phase peptide synthesis are generally described. Solid phase peptide synthesis is a known process in which amino acid residues are added to peptides that have been immobilized on a solid support. In certain embodiments, the inventive systems and methods can be used to perform solid phase peptide synthesis quickly while maintaining high yields. Certain embodiments relate to processes and systems that may be used to heat, transport, and/or mix reagents in ways that reduce the amount of time required to perform solid phase peptide synthesis.

  • Publication number: 20230174572
    Abstract: Methods and system for solid phase peptide synthesis are provided. Solid phase peptide synthesis is a known process in which amino acid residues are added to peptides that have been immobilized on a solid support. New amino acid residues are added via a coupling reaction between an activated amino acid and an amino acid residue of the immobilized peptide. Amino acids may be activated using, e.g., a base and an activating agent. Certain inventive concepts, described herein, relate to methods and systems for the activation of amino acids. These systems and methods may allow for fewer side reactions and a higher yield compared to conventional activation techniques as well as the customization of the coupling reaction on a residue-by-residue basis without the need for costly and/or complex processes.

  • Publication number: 20220118379
    Abstract: Method of separation of a radiometal ion from a target metal ion, comprising a first liquid-liquid extraction step in which an organic phase comprising an extractant and an interfacial tension modifier is mixed with an aqueous phase comprising the radiometal ion and the target metal ion in order that the radiometal ion is at least partially transferred to the organic phase, followed by a first phase separation step, wherein the phase separation is carried out in flow comprising the use of a microfiltration membrane to separate the phases based on the interfacial tension between the phases such that a permeate phase passes through the membrane and a retentate phase does not.
