  • Methods of use for low-bind polypropylene plates and vials
    Patent number: 11747341
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method of analyzing a sample comprising a hydrophobic molecule. The method includes preparing an aqueous solution comprising the sample. The method also includes placing the solution in contact with a polypropylene substrate having a deactivated surface that reduces adsorption of the hydrophobic molecule relative to a polypropylene substrate that has not been deactivated. The method also includes analyzing the sample.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 3, 2020
    Date of Patent: September 5, 2023
    Assignee: Waters Technologies Corporation
    Inventors: Moon Chul Jung, Mary Elizabeth Lame, Caitlin Dunning, Christopher John Hughes, Xiaoxiao Liu, Paula Orens, Yun Wang Alelyunas, Erin E. Chambers, David Dao, Robert Birdsall
  • SAMPLE PREPARATION DEVICES, KITS AND METHODS
    Publication number: 20230201744
    Abstract: The present disclosure pertains to sample preparation devices useful for affinity capture and purification that include one or more internal structures that comprise a reservoir, a well, a fluid passageway, sorbent particles, and a filter element that blocks passage of the affinity sorbent particles, which sample preparation devices combine the attributes of both dispersive and flow through designs into a single sample preparation device. The present disclosure also pertains to kits that contain and methods that use such sample preparation devices.
