Patent number: 6342160Abstract: The invention discloses a method for rapid identification of a candidate selective separation material by placing small samples of the candidate material in an array of vials and adding a solution of the analytes to be separated. The solution is allowed to interact or equilibrate and the distribution of the analytes in the solid or liquid phase is measured usually by gas or liquid chromatography. The identified candidate material with the greatest differential adsorption of the analytes is selected and used as an adsorbent for large scale separation. The rapid screening of chromatographic adsorbents provides an efficient way of finding suitable absorbent materials for large scale separations.Type: GrantFiled: January 8, 1999Date of Patent: January 29, 2002Inventors: Christopher J.

Patent number: 5104815Abstract: The current invention is a method, kit and reagents for detecting cobalamins in a sample. The method involves introducing into the sample a first conjugate of a latex or latex-like solid phase linked to affinity purified intrinsic factor with a first linking group at least three angstroms long. The first conjugate and the bound cobalamins in the sample are then exposed to a second conjugate of a cobalamin linked to a detectable enzyme to produce second conjugate bound to first conjugate and unbound second conjugate. The enzyme activity associated either with the solid phase first conjugate or the unbound second conjugate is then detected. By linking affinity purified intrinsic factor to a latex or latex-like solid phase with a first linking group at least three angstroms long, an exzyme assay can be performed which detects levels of cobalamins in patient samples within or below normal ranges found in such samples.Type: GrantFiled: June 6, 1990Date of Patent: April 14, 1992Assignee: Abbott LaboratoriesInventors: William D.
