  • Patent number: 11918936
    Abstract: The present disclosure discusses a method of separating a sample including oligonucleotides including coating a flow path of a chromatographic system; injecting the sample comprising oligonucleotides into the chromatographic system; flowing the sample through the chromatographic system; and separating the oligonucleotides. In some examples, the coating of the flow path is non-binding with respect to the analyte, such as oligonucleotides. Consequently, the analyte does not bind to the coating of the flow path. The non-binding coating eliminates the need for passivation, which can eliminate the formerly needed time to passivate as well. In addition, analyte can be recovered with a first injection in a system, such as chromatographic system.

  • Publication number: 20230393103
    Abstract: A device for separating analytes is disclosed. The device has a sample injector, sample injection needle, sample reservoir container in communication with the sample injector, chromatography column downstream of the sample injector, and fluid conduits connecting the sample injector and the column. The interior surfaces of the fluid conduits, sample injector, sample reservoir container, and column form a flow path having wetted surfaces. A portion of the wetted surfaces of the flow path are coated with an alkylsilyl coating that is inert to at least one of the analytes. The alkylsilyl coating has the Formula I: R1, R2, R3, R4, R5, and R6 are each independently selected from (C1-C6)alkoxy, —NH(C1-C6)alkyl, —N((C1-C6)alkyl)2, OH, ORA, and halo. RA represents a point of attachment to the interior surfaces of the fluidic system. At least one of R1, R2, R3, R4, R5, and R6 is ORA. X is (C1-C20)alkyl, —O[(CH2)2O]1-20, -(C1-C10)[NH(CO)NH(C1-C10)]1-20-, or -(C1-C10)[alkylphenyl(C1-C10)alkyl]1-20-.

  • Patent number: 11718802
    Abstract: Applying heat from a heat source to a first region to cause a first pyrolysis process, the first pyrolysis process resulting in a gaseous mixture, and applying heat from the heat source to a second region to cause a second pyrolysis process, the second pyrolysis process being applied to the gaseous mixture, wherein the second region is located closer to the heat source than the first region. Pyrolysis is used to destroy oils, tars and/or PAHs in carbonaceous material.
