  • Patent number: 9304133
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus are provided to resolve analytes within a fluid path using isoelectric focusing, gel electrophoresis, or other separation means. Materials within the fluid path that are compatible with these separation means are used to attach resolved analytes to the wall of the fluid path. Attachment results from a triggerable event such as photoactivation, thermal activation, or chemical activation. In accordance with a further aspect of the present invention, the material in the capillary may also be disrupted, by either the triggerable event or a subsequent event such as melting or photocleavage. Thus, an open lumen or porous structure may be created within the fluid path, allowing unbound analyte materials to be washed from the fluid path, and detection agents to be washed into the fluid path. The separation-compatible materials may be polymerizable monomers, gels, entangled polymers or other materials.

  • Patent number: 7935479
    Abstract: Methods for detecting one or more analytes, such as a protein, in a fluid path are described herein. In some embodiments a method includes resolving one or more analytes in a fluid path, such as, for example, a capillary. After the one or more analytes are resolved, the one or more analytes are bound to the fluid path upon activation of one or more triggerable agents disposed within the fluid path.
