Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to methods of sample preparation from lipid nanoparticle (LNP)-encapsulated nucleic acids utilizing solid-phase extraction techniques.

Abstract: In various aspects, the present disclosure pertains to methods of performing a sample enrichment procedure, which comprise: adding a sample fluid that comprises at least one phospholipid and at least one target analyte to a sorbent that comprises a hydrophobic component and a cation exchange component, thereby resulting in sorbent with bound phospholipid and bound target analyte; adding an aqueous solution comprising an acidic compound and a salt; adding an organic solution to the sorbent thereby desorbing at least a portion of the bound phospholipid from the sorbent; and adding an elution solution to the sorbent, thereby desorbing at least a portion of the bound target analyte from the sorbent and forming a solution of the target analyte in the elution solution. In other aspects, the present disclosure pertains to kits, which may be used in conjunction with such methods.

Abstract: Sorbents, devices, kits and methods useful for sample treatment are disclosed herein. In particular embodiments, described are inorganic/organic hybrid sorbent particles comprising (a) a core region that comprises a silica component and (b) a surface region that comprises an organic copolymer comprising at least one hydrophobic organic monomer and at least one hydrophilic organic monomer.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to the use of vapor deposition coated flow paths for improved chromatography and sample analysis using liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC/MS) or liquid chromatography-optical detection (LC/UV). More specifically, this technology relates to separating and quantitation of analytes (e.g., phospho prodrugs and its phosphorylated metabolites) from a sample matrix (e.g., mammalian blood, plasma) using chromatographic devices and fluidic systems having coated flow paths. The LC-MS or LC-UV techniques provide improved recovery, peak shape and dynamic range in the analysis of the prodrug and its metabolites.
