  • Patent number: 5413708
    Abstract: An apparatus for chromatography of DNA, RNA, proteins and other molecules includes the use of a column adapted to hold a chromatography material and a sample to be filtered. A pneumatic pressure differential is applied across the column and the sample is urged through the chromatography material. A selected portion of the sample may then be collected.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: April 25, 1994
    Date of Patent: May 9, 1995
    Assignee: Stratagene

  • Patent number: 5112470
    Abstract: A vertically oriented gel electrophoresis apparatus having a support structure for supporting in a generally vertical plane a gel plate assembly, including a pair of upright side members, a support plate lying in a vertical plane and extending between the side members, a lower buffer tank for supporting the gel plate assembly between the side members, and an upper buffer tray having a sealing gasket on one side thereof which is engageable with the gel plate assembly adjacent the upper edge thereof upon movement of the upper tray into engagement with the gel plate assembly, to seal against leakage of buffered solution disposed in the upper tray. The upper tray is moved into sealing engagement with the gel plate assembly and away therefrom by a cam disposed in cam slots in the sides of the upper tray and operated by a handle disposed externally of the side members and connected to the cam by a shaft passing through the side members.

  • Patent number: 5112459
    Abstract: An apparatus and method for the transfer of macromolecules from a source medium to a transfer medium employ positive pressure to urge a sample from the source medium to the transfer medium. The source and transfer media are disposed in adjacent relation, a positive pressure such as air pressure, fluid pressure, air and fluid pressure or mechanical pressure is applied against the source medium, and the molecule is recovered from the transfer medium.
