  • Publication number: 20230314369
    Abstract: Provided herein is an electrophoresis separation medium comprising: (a) a non-crosslinked or sparsely cross-linked polymer or copolymer; (b) one or more denaturant compounds, in an amount sufficient to inhibit re-naturation of single stranded polynucleotides; (c) an aqueous solvent; (d) optionally, a wall-coating material suited to inhibition of electroosmotic flow; and (e) optionally, an organic water miscible solvent such as DMSO or acetonitrile, wherein the electrophoresis separation medium exhibits functional stability for at least seven days at 23° C. Also provided herein are sieving compositions, including polymer-based sieving compositions, for molecular sieving as well as related kits, devices and methods of use. Such compositions can be useful for separation of biomolecules such as nucleic acids, proteins, glycoproteins and glycans.

  • Publication number: 20230166257
    Abstract: Methods, devices, and systems for performing nebulization of a sample from a fluid channel of a microfluidic device are described. The systems or devices disclosed herein may comprise microfluidic devices that comprise a gas channel used for nebulization of the sample at a fluid outlet of the microfluidic device. In some instances, the disclosed devices may be designed to perform isoelectric focusing followed by further characterization of the separated analytes using electrospray ionization coupled with nebulization to introduce the samples into a mass spectrometer. The disclosed methods, devices, and systems provide for fast, accurate separation and characterization of protein analyte mixtures or other biological molecules by isoelectric point.
