  • Two-dimensional protein separations using chromatofocusing and multiplexed capillary gel electrophoresis
    Patent number: 6969452
    Abstract: Disclosed is a two-dimensional protein separation method. It makes separating a protein sample by chromatofocusing into a plurality of aliquots, and then loading each aliquot into a separate capillary tube; and separating each aliquot by multiplexed capillary electrophoresis to produce a two-dimensional array of separated proteins. A preferred integrated buffer for this system is also disclosed.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: February 28, 2003
    Date of Patent: November 29, 2005
    Assignee: Combisep, Inc.
    Inventors: Yan He, Ho-Ming Pang, Siquan Luo, Futian Han
  • Multiplexed, absorbance-based capillary electrophoresis system and method
    Patent number: 6833919
    Abstract: A multiplexed, absorbance-based electrophoresis system for analyzing multiple samples simultaneously without use of a mask or slit comprising a light source, a planar array of capillary tubes and a detector positioned off-axis with the light source and positioned on-axis with and parallel to the planar array of capillary tubes. Other embodiments include vacuum use attached to the capillary tubes to increase the speed of detection.

  • Laser ablation system, and method of decontaminating surfaces
    Patent number: 5780806
    Abstract: A laser ablation system comprising a laser head providing a laser output; a flexible fiber optic cable optically coupled to the laser output and transmitting laser light; an output optics assembly including a nozzle through which laser light passes; an exhaust tube in communication with the nozzle; and a blower generating a vacuum on the exhaust tube. A method of decontaminating a surface comprising the following steps: providing an acousto-optic, Q-switched Nd:YAG laser light ablation system having a fiber optically coupled output optics assembly; and operating the laser light ablation system to produce an irradiance greater than 1.times.10.sup.7 W/cm.sup.2, and a pulse width between 80 and 170 ns.
