  • CARBON REMOVAL FROM SEAWATER AND OTHER LIQUIDS USING PHOTOACTIVE COMPOUNDS
    Publication number: 20240368000
    Abstract: Systems and methods to remove carbon from liquids such as seawater and other natural waters are described. The systems and methods utilize photoactive compounds to alter the pH of a fluid, drawing carbon out of the liquid and channeling it into a secondary environment. The carbon can be captured and sequestered or used in the formation of a product.

  • Functionalized gel beads
    Patent number: 11884962
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides methods of generating supports (e.g., beads) comprising barcode molecules coupled thereto. A barcode molecule coupled to a support may comprise a barcode sequence and a functional sequence. A barcode molecule may be generated using two or more ligation reactions in a combinatorial fashion. A support comprising two or more different barcode molecules may be useful for analyzing or processing one or more analytes such as nucleic acid molecules, proteins, and/or perturbation agents.
