  • Publication number: 20240192164
    Abstract: Some embodiments described herein relate to a method that includes wetting a microfluidic device with a sample containing biological cells. The chip can contain multiple wells. The sample can be allowed to “settle,” such that individual cells migrate into and/or are captured by various wells. Analytes from the cells can be electrophoretically separated. A voltage can be applied across the chip causing analytes to migrate from the wells and into the separation medium under electromotive force, where they can be separated based, for example, on their mobility. After separation, a reagent can be applied to the chip. The reagent can be configured to increase a probe's ability to bind to at least a subset of the analytes and facilitate detection and/or quantification of the analytes. The analytes can then be probed, for example, with an antibody.

  • Publication number: 20220155284
    Abstract: Some embodiments described herein relate to systems and methods operable to combine immunoassay and Total Protein techniques in a single sample run. Some embodiments described herein allow for multiple sequential immunoassays to be performed in the same microfluidic device. Some embodiments described herein relate to stripping reagents operable to remove primary antibodies associated with immunoassays. Such stripping reagents can allow for additional immunoassays and/or Total Protein assays to be performed on the same sample.

  • Patent number: 7517701
    Abstract: Systems, including compositions, kits, and methods, particularly for photoluminescence applications. The systems may include, among others, (1) organic chelators, (2) complexes between the chelators and lanthanide ions, and (3) precursors, derivatives, and uses thereof. The chelators may include a 1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane ring system, for example, having the formula: Here, R1, R2, and R3 are substituents of the tetraazacyclododecane ring system, that is further substituted at the 10-position by a sensitizer Z that is typically a polyheterocyclic ring system. The organic chelator may be capable of forming a luminescent complex with a lanthanide ion, and is optionally further substituted by a reactive functional group or a conjugated substance. The resulting lanthanide complex may be useful in luminescence-based assays, such as energy transfer assays, among others.
