  • Publication number: 20150105280
    Abstract: A multi-dimensional method is provided for simultaneously analyzing multiple analytes within a sample solution, the method including: adding affinity selectors to a sample solution containing analytes to be measured, the affinity selectors having an affinity for one or more of the analytes within the sample solution; allowing immune complexes to form between the affinity selectors and the analytes; partially or totally resolving the formed immune complexes from non-analyte substances within the sample solution in a first dimension of separation using a selective adsorption technique; dissociating the resolved immune complexes; separating the analytes and the affinity selectors of the dissociated immune complexes from one another in a second dimension of separation using a selective adsorption technique; and resolving the analytes in accordance with their mass-to-charge ratios.

  • Patent number: 8455202
    Abstract: A multi-dimensional method for simultaneously analyzing multiple analytes within a sample solution, comprising adding affinity selectors to a sample solution containing analytes to be measured, the affinity selectors having an affinity for one or more of the analytes within the sample solution; allowing immune complexes to form between the affinity selectors and the analytes; partially or totally resolving the formed immune complexes from non-analyte substances within the sample solution; dissociating the resolved immune complexes; separating the analytes and the affinity selectors of the dissociated immune complexes from one another by capturing the analytes through a surface adsorption process; transferring the captured analytes to a detection means; and resolving the analytes with the detection means in accordance with their mass-to-charge ratios.
