  • Patent number: 11958016
    Abstract: Dialysis devices include a frame defined by a plurality of sidewalls that are impermeable to a sample being dialyzed, a pair of dialysis membranes that are each associated with an opposing face of the plurality of sidewalls such that the plurality of sidewalls and the pair of dialysis membranes define a sample chamber, an outer shell surrounding at least a portion of the pair of dialysis membranes, and a cap selectively associated with the sample chamber. The cap can be selectively associated with the sample chamber via an attachment mechanism that is configured to provide aural and/or haptic feedback when the cap forms a tight association with the sample chamber. The cap can be a sensor cap having one or more probes for measuring at least one property of fluid inside and/or outside the sample chamber and a transmitter for transmitting data captured at the probe(s) to a destination device.

  • Publication number: 20240091742
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are embodiments of matrixes made of a porous size exclusion support and a cationic moiety for separating one or more small molecules from one or more large molecules in a sample using differences in one or more properties such as the size of the molecules, charge of the molecules, the isoelectric point (pI) of the molecules, and/or any combination of these properties including methods, systems, and kit embodiments. Also disclosed herein are embodiments of a method of making the matrixes and using the matrixes for separating small molecules from one or more large molecules in a sample.
